Furaha

I'm sure our donors appreciate our thank you notes, but they LOVE to hear about the success stories and the children in our programs. Let's meet some of the girls who are attending school because of your generosity.

Furaha has joined secondary school. We were able to cover her school fees, uniforms, shoes and books. Furaha is a member of senior teens support group and she is healthy and enjoying the time in school.

Hadija is doing well and and is showing a great interest in school. Her school requirements were met and this year she has been promoted to new class. She is a member of junior teens support group and last year she attended a workshop.

Sofia is feeling great and has joined class 6 this year. She has met all her school requirements, and she is serious about her education. She has promised even better results this year! Sofia is an active member of junior teens support group and is active in her school community.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of these young women. They are thriving and looking forward to a future because of your generosity! Please contact Tanya Weaver at tweaver@afcaids.org if you would like to learn more about this program or other programs at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS.

Miriam 1

Miriam is 14 and is part of a family of five, including her father, mother and two sisters. At first glance you would think that's wonderful. Most of the children in our program are orphans living with elderly grandparents. Miriam is blessed with a family!

When you look closer, you find Miriam and her mother are the only family members infected with HIV. Her parents are discordant, making the father unsupportives of his wife and daughter. They had a small piece of land which he sold in 2013, leaving them stranded and homeless. How does a mother move forward to help herself and her daughter in this situation?

Miriam and her mother are blessed by donors like yourself. They are able to attend the clinic together, and Miriam is enrolled in school. She is very active in her support group and her drug adherence is satisfactory. During home visits, Miriam is found playing with other children in the community. She supports the family in fetching water, making meals and doing garden work.

Your generosity has made this new life possible for Miriam. She would not be thriving without medicine, school fees, pads and her support group. You have donated much more than money, you have given hope!

Are you up for a challenge? From April 27 through May 1, thousands of people across the world are coming together to unite against extreme poverty. Will YOU be one of them? Go to www.afcaids.org/live to learn more and to sign up.
