Scholarship Project to Support Elementary Education
This project merges our scholarship project for marginalised and impoverished children and the Aids Orphans Project which began in 2002. New scholarships are awarded only to AIDS orphans, defined as children whose parent, parents or guardians have died of AIDS or have been incapacitated by HIV and whose surviving relatives are unable to fund their education. These children would not be educated or able to continue their studies without Together for Sudan support. Community volunteers help select the scholars and help with monitoring.
The Episcopal Church of Scotland provided most welcome support for three years and for the last two years the Saudi-based charity ICING has been our major donor for this project. But the needs are enormous and, if funds were available, we could expand the project, for example for better support with uniforms, books and feeding, over 250 AIDS-affected children, and by expanding the number of children who benefit from it.
