Finding new ways to raise funds isn’t easy, particulary\u00a0during this\u00a0economic\u00a0downturn when money is tight. The Butterfly Tree continues to source new\u00a0methods in order to\u00a0reach out to\u00a0additional rural villages and schools in Zambia.\u00a0GlobalGiving<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> who directly support the work of grassroots charities worldwide,\u00a0have invited us\u00a0to participate in their Project Challenge 2, which gives non-profit charity organisations, implementing innovative projects, to earn a permanent spot on GlobalGiving’s website. This will be useful for our\u00a0international supporters especially\u00a0those donors in the US.<\/p>\n

To achieve this we have to raise \u00a31000 from at least 50 unique donors by the 30th November –\u00a0easier said than done! The project we have submitted is entitled HIV\/AIDS education and support to ZambianVillages, such as Mukuni<\/a>. Virtually every\u00a0Zambian’s life has\u00a0been infected or affected by the HIV\/AIDS<\/a> panedmic, which has left 710,000 children orphaned. Education is the key to overcoming this incurable disease and\u00a0our aim is to provide educational workshops and health support to the rural communities. Working with the professional team at the Mukuni Health Centre<\/a> the funds will be used to provide this vital service offering voluntary testing, counselling and treatment for HIV\/AIDS sufferers, most especially children. In addition we will provide education at the schools, help to remove the stigma and discrimination and offer income-generating activities\u00a0to assist the HIV\/AIDS support groups.<\/p>\n
