KAWANGWARE STREET CHILDREN & YOUTH PROJECT - KENYA
Former street kids started Kawangware Street Children and Youth Project (KSCYP) to provide positive opportunities for the children of Kawangware, a slum bordering Kenya’s capital Nairobi. Locally managed, KSCYP strives to get youth off the streets and offers economic and performance activities. The profits generated help support the youth workers’ basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care and education, while also taking care of the community’s orphaned and vulnerable children.
NextAid has joined forces with KSCYP by committing to seek funds for the construction of an eco-friendly, multipurpose facility for the project’s micro-business.

SEND A CHILD TO SCHOOL - SOUTH AFRICA
NextAid is working with the well-respected South African organization, loveLife, to be the beneficiary of our “Send a Child to School” campaign. goGogetters is a loveLife program to support the many grandmothers (gogos) who have been dedicating their old-age years to the wellbeing of orphans and vulnerable children. NextAid is raising funds for the schooling needs of some of the most vulnerable children who participate in the goGogetters program. All it takes is $75 to fund one child’s education for an entire year. This donation will ensure that school fees are paid and the child is equipped with a school uniform, shoes and school supplies. We all know that education is the ticket to a better future and this program presents an affordable and tangible way for our supporters to help make a difference. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of 2009 in order to provide school supplies for the January school year. Help us
meet and exceed this goal!

I want to do as much as I can to make a difference in the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS: therefore I have set an ambitious fundraising goal for 2009, and I look forward to your continued support.You can follow the Link below to visit my personal web page and help me in my efforts to support Aids Walk New York 2009
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." ~Emerson~
Wishing you a wonderful & beautiful weekend my sweet friend!
