Projecting Hope For Swaziland: Sundresses, Shirts and Shorts

Ian and Jenn Stephens are missionaries working with C.H.I.P.S, Children HIV Intervention Programme in Swaziland, to help the orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS pandemic in Swaziland, Africa. Their home base is in Vuvulane and they travel around to various communities testing for HIV, assessing medical needs and treatment options, teaching job skills, providing workshops, and occasionally conducting Crossroads training (character building/positive living/HIV & abstinence). Ian and Jenn's main desire is to share the love of Jesus for each of these precious children while working towards fulfilling the vision of a HIV free Swaziland.

Sundresses, Shirts and Shorts

We received a large donation of sundresses, shirts and shorts. The girls all loved their pretty dresses and the guys were thrilled to get the shorts and shirts. For some children, this was the first new item of clothing that they have received. Every donation that we get, makes such a big difference in the lives of the recipients, even if it seems insignificant to the giver. Thank you for your continued support and generous hearts as you care for the least of these.

Don't all the kids look great?

What is Chips?

Children's HIV Intervention Program Swaziland

CHIPS is funded through the Claypotts trust in Scotland (Claypotts is a castle) and is a non-Christian organization.

Chips provides holistic care to children and caregivers in the form of these services:

1. On site rapid HIV testing

2. If the test is positive, a second test is done to make sure there is not a mistake and blood is drawn at the same time to check the viral load

3. Counselling on HIV, giving the patients hope and a postive outlook; HIV is not a death sentence

4. Transport to the local hospital for initiation of Antiretroviral, ARV, treatment and medication after further counselling

5. Follow up in the community; checking to see if the new patients are adhering to the ARV's and if there are any problems from the medication etc

6. Home health visits to the sick patients

7 . Return appointments to the hospital and when the patients are stable transferring them to a local rural clinic

The most important work of Chips is prayer and sharing the hope of Jesus with the patients.

Orphan Care Fund

Contributing to our Orphan Care Fund would enable us to help meet the physical needs of the people we serve in a holistic approach; spiritual, emotional, and physical. Monies from this fund would go towards clothing, helping start micro industries, medical needs, and nutritional needs.

If you want to donate to the Orphan Care Fund (Go to "Donate" and select our name, Stephens, Ian and Jenn SWAZILAND), please drop us an email letting us know your intentions and we will earmark the monies for that purpose.

Thank you for caring for these precious children!
