1. Health / Literacy Social Entrepreneurship against HIV/AIDS
Orphans Against AIDS
Stage 2 Venture by: CPL/2 Sia Chin Leong, Cedric Chew,
and Joseph Tan

2. About the Founder
• Andrew Klaber started
Orphans against AIDS in
2002 to provide education
and healthcare funding for
children orphaned by AIDS.
• After his sophomore year of
college, Klaber spent some
time in the developing world.
In the 10 weeks in northern
Thailand, he witnessed
young girls working in the
sex trade.

3. About the Founder
• That experience inspired Klaber to
found OAA. Since then, the non-
profit organization has provided
education and healthcare funding
for children orphaned or otherwise
affected by AIDS in developing
countries.
• In Harvard Business School MBA
Class of 2010, he was named one
of the winners of the School's
prestigious Dean's Award to honour
his goal “to make…the world a
better place” and was described by
a faculty member as "the most
exceptional social entrepreneur
…during my time”

4. OAA’s Work & Impact
• OAA strives to break the
cycle of HIV/AIDS by
ensuring that children
orphaned or made vulnerable
by the epidemic receive a
high-quality education,
nutrition, and health care.
• Currently, OAA provides
more than 600 youths in
Africa and Asia who have
been orphaned or made
vulnerable by HIV/AIDS with
academic scholarships for the
duration of their primary and
secondary school education.

5. OAA’s Work & Impact
• Orphans Against AIDS partners with local community-based
organizations to:
– Provide funding for academic scholarships that cover the cost of school
fees, school uniforms, school supplies, books, a desk and a chair (as
needed), transportation to and from school (as needed), a nutritious diet,
and health care (e.g., vaccinations, physician check-ups).
– Build partners' capacity, prove their model's effectiveness, help with grant-
writing and website development, and make introductions to other leading
donor organizations that can help their partners' projects scale.
• Unique among peer organizations, no OAA donations are used
for overhead expenses. Instead, the OAA officers cover all of
the organization's administrative and travel costs. As a result,
every dollar donated to OAA goes directly toward benefiting the
children

6. Recent History
• OAA's Thanda Project was recently voted winner of the 2010
South African Mzanzi Soul Award for Innovation, Ubuntu, and
Entrepreneurship.
• In recognition of this and additional accolades, Thanda received
an award and donation from Willowton Oil, which honors
Thanda's contribution to positive social change in the lives of
children affected by HIV/AIDS.
