Do help the children with support for their education so that they have the opportunity to have a successful schooling career and a positive life beyond. Children learn better with sufficient and healthy food, as well!
Bangwe HIV/Aids Self Help Initiative (BAHASI) is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that was established in 2004.
We are registered with the local government, Blantyre District Social Welfare and Blantyre City Council.
Our main objective is to improve the welfare of vulnerable groups in regards to the effects of HIV/ Aids pandemic. The NGO is serving communities with emphasis on supporting orphans, vulnerable children, elderly and chronically ill patients with financial support as well as psychological support through counselling.
In spite of our achievements it is important to acknowledge that BAHASI also continues to face many struggles and challenges. Over all BAHASI struggles mostly with a lack of financial support. We need your help!
We have a dire need for sustainable income to feed our more than 100 orphans and guardians, animals (our chckens & pigs), farming education and ofcourse medicines for AIDS/HIV and otherwise.
How to help
You can help the young children with extra support for their education so that they can have the opportunity to have a successful schooling career and a positive life beyond. Children learn better with sufficient and healthy food, as well! For just $50 you can help provide food for one year for a child.
Like any child, these children deserve the right to have a happy life. Let's help them achieve this!
Let's turn smiles on their faces for our planned Christmas party on December 12th, 2022!
