Create a Giving Circle to Support the Bantwana Initiative: Bantwana Giving Circles bring friends, families, book club members, and colleagues together to raise funds and pool their giving resources.

Here's an example of what your gifts will do:

  • $100 supports a NUTRITIOUS SCHOOL GARDEN for 50 children who also learn practical farming skills so they can start a garden at home.
  • $250 supports FOOD PACKAGES for 10 children for a school term, particularly those with no parents at home. This support reduces their vulnerability to exploitation when exchanging favors for food. Food packages supplement vegetables from the school garden.
  • $500 covers PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT and HIV PREVENTION programs for 10 children to deal with the grief and hopelessness associated with the loss of their parents and family members, and to ensure they know how to protect themselves from HIV.
  • $1,000 supports visits by a SCHOOL NURSE to treat basic ailments for 200 children which, left untreated, can develop into full-scale emergencies. Recently a child almost lost his leg due to a simple infection that was left untreated for too long. Last month alone, the Bantwana nurse treated 338 children in six schools - thats more than the total number of children treated in these six schools in the previous two years combined!
  • $2,500 supports DURABLE, DEEP WELLS that ensure children have clean drinking water, dramatically improving health and hygiene today and for years to come.
  • Gifts of $5000, $10,000, or more are also welcome and will be immediately leveraged and put to work.
