The SFA School of Social Work and Jarvis Christian College have teamed up to help provide the children at Zamani High School in Swaziland with the things they need to succeed in their schooling. The children in this area experience a variety of hardships: 80 percent are orphans, many are living with HIV/AIDS and have lost one or both parents due to AIDS, and many live in poverty and cannot afford to pay for the school fees. Many of the students have three basic needs: food, clothing and help with paying school fees.
