Generis International

In November 2008, when I visited the village of Salima in Malawi, more than 300 children greeted me. I asked one of the village leaders,"Could you show me the orphans?" He gestured to the sea of faces in front of me and replied,"All of them!!"I was shocked. I knew we would encounter many orphans, but not entire villages. It broke my heart to see first hand the devastating impact of HIV/Aids on innocent children. HIV/Aids decimated Malawi’s adult population. This crisis left thousands of orphans with no adults to care for them.These children are in desperate  need of basic necessities such as food and  school supplies for their education.Today my charity Generis Int. works with dedicated grassroots organizations to identify conditions creating barriers to education for orphans and vulnerable children to provide sustainable initiatives that are focused on local resources to address the issues. Overwhelmingly, they request education for their children to create a path for a better future.
