Home to one of the largest HIV rates in the world, many of Zambia’s orphans and vulnerable children have lost eithera mother, a father, or both parents to AIDS. As well, the Tonga people of Southern Province, Zambia, have the highest concentration of polygamous marriages (on average, a man has 2-4 wives) in the entire nation. Due to outrageous poverty levels of children, orphaned either due to HIV-AIDS or polygamy, SSAAP offers the beloved children of Simwatachela an annual sponsorship package of 125 Kwacha (approximately $20 USD) per year, which includes coverage of school fees, a new uniform, and a notebook and pencil.
