LIDGETTON COMMUNITY PROJECT BACKGROUND

In 2001, residents of Lidgetton grouped together to assist the increasing number of young children being orphaned by AIDS in the local village. Concerned individuals formed the Lidgetton Community Project, in an attempt to make a difference in the lives of these children, already deeply affected by their loss.

The aim of the project is to support these children within the larger support structure that already exists in the community, by supplying them with essential resources (food parcels, clothing etc) and encouraging self-sufficiency wherever possible (food gardens, craft skills training, etc).
