Namibia is a country in the Southern Africa. The organization that is down in Namibia right now gives help in several ares. Save Africa's Children (SAC) is a response to save children from AIDS/HIV, poverty, and to help children without homes so that they can live in orphanages. There focus is to help children with AIDS and also to help reduce children growing up in bad environments. (SAC) is also trying to change the Infant Mortality Rate in Namibia which is current running at 45.64 deaths in 1,000 births. With many volunteers help (SAC) is saving up to 100,000 children in Namibia even though lots of work isn't done in Namibia they are doing much work that they can save 100,000 children. (SAC) programs include education, health,training, and community based care. After reading about all this information, I think that the organization that we picked is doing a good job on trying to save Africa's children from AIDS.

11. Have the reviews of your organization's efforts been favorable or critical, i.e., What kind of a "report card" has it been getting?

12. How would you rate your organization's efforts? Has it done "a good job?" I think that this is a good organization to give to because it opens orphanages all around Africa to safe kids in need. 13. Do you think donating money to your organization is worthwhile? I think it is because this organization needs money all the time so it can even better things then it is already doing.
