Tangible Deliverables
CINDI-Kitwe is a community-based organization
in Kitwe, the third largest town in Zambia.
In Kitwe alone, there are 65,000 orphans
and the statistical certainty of a massive
increase in the next few years poses a daunting
challenge for CINDI-Kitwe. 17% of the
population of Zambia is currently infected
with HIV which poses another challenge.
The organization places 12,000 orphans
with close relatives, friends or families and
provides the orphans with education support
and meal supplements.
