Emmaus Foundation in Charity and Giving Relief The Foundation is running a number of charity projects that involve giving relief to the needy. This is not limited to food handouts but also social support. For example, there are several widows, many of whom are HIV/AIDS positive who are given medical support and food for their children. Some are given soft loans in order to start small businesses that enable them get some daily food. The aid also involves social support, including the rehabilitation of children who were affected by the war. Many of these children have been put back in schools, as a result the a hostel (St Stephen and Leonard) was constructed to help shelter orphans without family support so that they could easily access schools and other basic needs.
