My goal is to assist people who are interested in helping HIV positive orphans to find families. There are three main ways people can help these children integrate into families and out of orphanages, including: a) sponsorship of a child with a monthly stipend so their relatives can provide adequate care, b) promoting guardianship and foster care in the community for orphans with no living relatives, and c) through domestic and international adoption. This is not a non-profit organization and it does not solicit nor accept donations - it is a resource directory and a blog. Keep in mind while reading that I do not discriminate against religious people and organizations, homosexuals, people living with HIV & AIDS, etc. Feel free to contact me with any questions, information, corrections, feedback or comments.

JabuBags Africa Bags is a non-profit organization doing charitable work in Malawi, Africa. They sell cloth bags that are hand-crafted in five small villages. The organization enters into ultra poor villages with foot-powered treadle sewing machines, cloth and the materials/resources necessary. Over 4,000 bags were purchased in 2008. The bags are sold in the United States and 100% of all profits are returned to the villages.
