Child Sponsorhip:
   One of the most devastating consequences of the pandemic has been the rapid rise in the number of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. In Ethiopia, there are over a million children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

   Many of these children have to contend with the loss of their parents and the responsibility of caring for younger siblings. That was why P2P identified the orphans issue as one of the areas where it could make contributions.
 
Orphan Sponsorship Program:
    The Orphan Sponsorship program is intended to provide assistance to children in Ethiopia and to bring the plight of HIV/AIDS orphans to the attention of governments, organizations active in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the Canadian public at large. P2P provides basic necessities such as food, medical care, schooling assistance and psychosocial support to children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. P2P also provides vocational training for older orphans.

    The amount of sponsorship is $30/month for each child. P2P covers the administrative cost of the Orphan Sponsorship program. Besides, providing support, P2P has given hope to these children and enabled them to stay in school. P2P played a lead role in setting-up the administrative structure for a sponsorship program that would link orphans in Ethiopia with families in North America and Europe.
