This week The Butterfly Tree is participating in theBigGive Christmas Challenge<\/a>, which gives us the opportunity to double any donations made\u00a0from the 10 am on Monday 5th until Friday 9th December. Donations made to charities during this time will be matched by a combination of pledges donated by the charity\u2019s major donors and the Big Give\u2019s Philanthropist Fund. The donation must be made to\u00a0The Butterfly Tree\u00a0Orphan Support<\/a><\/strong> project listed on theBigGive<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

The project covers a\u00a0variety of\u00a0ways where we\u00a0provide vital funds for the numerous children orphaned through the HIV and AIDS in Zambia<\/a>. Most crucial is to supply a safe, clean drinking water. All schools need their own drinking water, which can also be used to\u00a0provide water for gardens,\u00a0enabling them to have sustainable feeding programs, essential for growth and stamina of young children. The Butterfly Tree provides HIV and AIDS<\/a> and malaria prevention<\/a> programs, treatment for sick children and much needed medical supplies. Our aim is to improve the health facilities for the orphans.<\/p>\n

Education is the key to making the change. Through the orphan support<\/a> program we have given hundreds of orphans an education. Many had dropped out of school due to lack of funds and to date we have sponsored over 400 individual orphans. In addition thousands more have been helped in fifteen schools throughout the Mukuni<\/a> and Musokotwane Chiefdoms. We have build classrooms for mainstream and\u00a0special education, teacher’s house, latrines\u00a0and supplied vast amounts of stationery and equipment. We are very grateful to British and Foreign School Society<\/a> for\u00a0further grant aid\u00a0to supply the four new schools we have built this year. Some of the funds will be used to provide further education for twenty orphaned and vulnerable children.<\/p>\n
