Teach a Child - Africa, Education for Life. Scholarships for AIDS orphans
Teach a Child – Africa (TaC) was founded in 2007 by two Kenyan women, Pamela Steele and Margaret Oriaro, both of whom lost many relatives to the AIDS pandemic. Its mission is to provide access to good quality secondary education to the most talented orphans from AIDS-stricken Western Kenya, particularly from the province of Nyanza, where HIV/AIDS has left close to 500,000 children fully orphaned. Rising Tide is financing 20 4-year scholarships for high-school education.
