OAA Educational Scholarships

All Orphans Against AIDS officers, staff, and advisers are volunteers; consequently, OAA has no operating costs. This puts OAA at a major advantage; 100% of funds can be applied directly to scholarships for AIDS orphans. Our direct costs are as follows:

- $100-$150 per student per year:

- School Uniforms (two academic uniforms and one gym uniform): $20.00 to $25.00

- School Fees: $10.00 to $15.00

- School Supplies (notebooks, pencils, etc.): $10.00

- School lunches: $30.00 to $40.00

- Books: $10.00

- Basic Health Care: $20.00 to $40.00

- Transportation to and from school (on an as needed basis)

The progress and impact of OAA is tracked closely to ensure that funds are appropriated as effectively as possible; the young people receiving our scholarships have been sought out by local educators, physicians, and/or community leaders with expertise on which youths have the greatest needs. In addition, our local partners provide OAA with biannual reports detailing the educational progress and health of each young person.
