Without help from SizaBantwana Organisation, hundreds of children face a reality of living everyday without water, food, and medical care.  Opportunities for education are also severely limited without proper uniforms, school supplies, or adult advocates.

 

Additionally, these children have to cope with the social-emotional challenges of facing the world without a parent or relative  Friends of SizaBantwana, Inc. can help. Although we can never alleviate the pain of losing a loved one due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we can help with basic needs.  

 

We can help by purchasing and providing:
