Our motivation for S.A.F.E. is to help keep Swazi orphans and vulnerable children in school. We believe education is one of the answers to the HIV/AIDS crisis in Swaziland. Research by the UN has indicated 70 percent of Swazi girls who are not in school are sexually active, compared to 30 percent of Swazi girls in school who are sexually active. 

In response to this crisis, S.A.F.E. is currently sponsoring 22 orphans and vulnerable children in Swaziland by providing school fees and, in some cases, uniforms. Most of these students are young girls who have no one else to pay the fees to keep them in school. Some of them have traumatic histories of abuse and neglect. They are all survivors. Your support has made these sponsorships possible!  

If you would like to learn more about S.W.A.G.A.A. (Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse), our partner organization in Swaziland which identifies students in need of sponsorship, visit them at www.swagaa.org.sz or read about them in the About Us section under Partners.
