2018 GHFP Orphan Education Scholarship Campaign
In Swaziland, education is not free.
In fact, it is about $1 per day to go to school and an additional $100 for school uniforms, supplies, and shoes (~$450 total). In 2007 we met a group of children who were being kicked out of school due to the lack of fees and pledged to raise money for their school fees. Today, you can make a contribution to keep them in school - no amount is too small!
BELOW YOU CAN MAKE DONATIONS IN MULTIPLES OF $25 OR YOU CAN MAIL A CHECK TO: 2436 N Alabama St, Indianapolis IN 46205.
ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE!
YOU can make a difference!

Nkhosingiphile - $450 Needed!
This quiet young lady is happy to be in high-school with her friends Gcinile and Sandzie (also GHFP orphans). She lives in a dark tiny mud/clay homestead with lots of distant relatives. Her older brother in broken English invited us inside recently to see that he installed our GHFP solar donation so Nkhosingiphile can now study at night. We are happy that she is studying hard and enjoying school! She will enter form 5, her final year of high-school.

Although very shy, Sandzie is full of talent! She is one of the traditional dancers for eLangeni High and last year they won position one!
