Community Outreach
SCHARP staff regularly conduct fundraisers to support various HIV/AIDS-related charities, both locally and around the world. Following are some of the groups to whom we regularly make donations:
Dzama Community
In May 2004 SCHARP staff began providing financial support to the Dzama community in Malawi. Dzama is a village populated with over 80 orphans, many of whom were orphaned because of HIV. These children are in great need of basic assistance such as food, clothing, and school supplies.
SCHARP regularly donates proceeds from our fundraisers to the Dzama community. Most recently, our efforts have provided Dzama's residents with everything from wool blankets, clothing, and food, to seeds, leased land, and even the construction of two pit latrines, which will help to stave off some of the rampant diarrheal diseases from which the village has been suffering. SCHARP hopes to extend our relationship with the Dzama community indefinitely.
Rise n' Shine
Rise n' Shine is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing emotional support and advocacy to children and teens affected by HIV and AIDS. All Rise n' Shine kids either live with a parent or other close family member with HIV or AIDS, have been orphaned by the disease, or are infected themselves. Each holiday season, SCHARP staff "adopt" several Rise n' Shine kids to provide with gifts from their wish-lists.
