The ZASO Children’s Home have been taking care of the HIV+ orphans in Zanzibar since 2019 under the umbrella of an existing NGO named Zanzibar Aids Association and Support of Orphans (ZASO) which was established in 1995 under the Zanzibar Society Act No 6 of 1995 with Registration No. 24.

As caretakers of these orphaned children our goal is to help and guide the children to live harmoniously and healthily by providing shelter, medicine, education, nutritious meals and a safe environment for them to grow and thrive

Unfortunately, there is still a huge stigmatisation and discrimination surrounding AIDS victims in Africa so our top priority is to fuel our children with enough encouragement, stability and happiness to go out into the world with courage and pride.
