The Chello Foundation
The Chello Foundation was set up in 2007 as an international charity to provide Educational Scholarships for AIDs Orphans in sub-Saharan Africa.
It is estimated by the U.N. that there are already more than 12 million AIDs orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa, which is expected to rise to 16 million by 2010.
The Foundation has already commenced work in the Bondo district of Kenya, an area characterized by high levels of poverty and an HIV prevalence rate twice the Kenyan national average. The Foundation has already started to provide educational scholarships for 85 children in Bondo. Each scholarship lasts for the duration of each child's primary or secondary level education. The Foundation is working with World Voices Positive, a CBO based in Bondo, to deliver the programme locally, including identifying the beneficiaries and carefully monitoring the programme to ensure its maximum effectiveness.
The Chello Foundation is in the process of expanding the educational scholarship programme to other regions within Kenya and to other countries within Sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa.
