CHILD SPONSORING

What is sponsoring?

We provide social assistance to children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS. We help support them go to school and gain access to medical treatment, and organize social activities on their behalf.

It should be noted though that this support is not exclusively provided to children who are HIV positiveor orphaned by AIDS. To date we have helped close to 100 at-risk youth.

Our work could not be done without the financial support of our sponsors and individual donors – people who over time have continued to give willingly and open-heartedly.

How is someone sponsored?

In general, we personally choose which children are eligible for support according to a well-established poverty criterion; however, if you believe that a child is in need of support, please send us an email at info@azurdev.org.
