Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

HIV/AIDS HAS RAVAGED THE COUNTRY OF SWAZILAND AND MORE THAN 200,000 CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ORPHANED IN ITS WAKE. ALMOST HALF OF THE COUNTRY'S POPULATION ARE ORPHANS OR VULNERABLE CHILDREN. WITH OVER 160 CHILDREN LIVING ON PROJECT CANAAN RIGHT NOW, HEART FOR AFRICA RECEIVES A NEW BABY EVERY TWO WEEKS. MANY OF OUR CHILDREN ARRIVE WITH SEVERE MALNUTRITION AND SUFFER FROM ABUSE AND NEGLECT OFTEN LEAVING THEM WITH PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL AND/OR OTHER DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES. PROVIDING A HOME, FOOD, CLOTHING, EDUCATION AND OTHER CARE UNTIL THEY REACH ADULTHOOD REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT. OUR COMMITMENT TO EACH CHILD IS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH A HOME UNTIL THEY'RE 18-YEARS OF AGE WHILE PROVIDING THEM WITH THE TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESOURCES THEY NEED TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT.


PROJECT CANAAN, HEART FOR AFRICA'S 2,500-ACRE FARM IN SWAZILAND, IS AN INNOVATIVE INITIATIVE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO GROW FOOD AND PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR MEN AND WOMEN. OUR DAIRY PROVIDES MILK AND FOOD FOR OUR CHILDREN AND STAFF, WHILE OUR EGG PROJECT PROVIDES NUTRITIOUS EGGS FOR THE CHILDREN AND ARE DELIVERED FREE OF CHARGE TO THOUSANDS OF ORPHANS EACH WEEK THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. DUE TO THE SEVERE DROUGHT AFFLICTING MUCH OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA WE LAUNCHED AN AQUAPONICS PROJECT FOCUSED ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, WHILE MINIMIZING THE USE OF WATER. OUR WATER PIPELINE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE WATER SECURITY TO PROJECT CANAAN. WE ARE BUILDING A PIPELINE THAT DIRECTS THE FLOW OF NATURAL SPRINGS DOWN A MOUNTAIN ONTO OUR FARM THAT WILL BE INTEGRATED WITH OUR SYSTEM OF DAMS TO PROVIDE WATER FOR BOTH DOMESTIC AND AGRICULTURAL USE.


UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY ARE TWO ENORMOUS CHALLENGES FACING THE PEOPLE OF SWAZILAND. AS PART OF OUR FOCUS ON POVERTY AND EDUCATION (WHICH INCLUDES VOCATIONAL TRAINING), WE EMPLOY NEARLY 300 MEN AND WOMEN FROM THE AREAS AROUND PROJECT CANAAN. MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE WORK IN KHUTSALA ARTISANS WHERE THEY CREATE AUTHENTIC AFRICAN HANDCRAFTS SUCH AS BEADWORK ANIMALS, HOME DECOR AND CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS. THIS EMPLOYMENT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES TO REMAIN INTACT AND HELPS SWAZIS SECURE A SUSTAINABLE INCOME. IN ADDITION, 100% OF THE PROFITS FROM THE SALE OF THESE ITEMS GO DIRECTLY TO SUPPORTING THE CHILDREN'S HOMES. ON AVERAGE, EACH SWAZI WORKING FOR PROJECT CANAAN CARES FOR 13 OTHER PEOPLE, MEANING THAT EACH PERSON EMPLOYED HAS A MUCH GREATER ECONOMIC IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING PROJECT CANAAN.


HEART FOR AFRICA RAISES FUNDS TO FULLY SUPPORT ITS VARIOUS INITIATIVES IN SWAZILAND. FOCUSED ON HOPE (HUNGER, ORPHANS, POVERTY AND EDUCATION) IN SWAZILAND, THE ORGANIZATION WORKS TO EASE HUNGER, CARE FOR ORPHANS, END POVERTY AND PROVIDE EDUCATION. TO FURTHER COMBAT HUNGER IN THE COUNTRY, THE ORGANIZATION DISTRIBUTES FOOD TO ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN THROUGH A NETWORK OF CHURCH PARTNERS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, PROVIDING OVER 74,000 HOT MEALS EACH MONTH. TO GENERATE SUPPORT FOR ITS MANY PROGRAMS, INCLUDING HOMES FOR CHILDREN AND EMPLOYMENT AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR ADULTS, THE ORGANIZATION BRINGS HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS OVER EACH YEAR TO HELP WITH VARIOUS PROGRAMS, RAISE AWARENESS AND ASK FOR FUNDS FOR ITS WORK. ADDITIONAL SERVICES AT PROJECT CANAAN IS THE KUFUNDZA CENTER, A WOODSHOP PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING, AS WELL AS A MEDICAL CLINIC THAT PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE FOR THE CHILDREN, EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
