Your gifts will assist programs that provide medical care, including medications and counseling to prevent mother-to-child transmission, for those infected with HIV. A gift of $15 can supply medication and post-natal counseling to prevent one HIV-infected mother from passing the virus on to her child. Click here to support
Working with vulnerable
children is a concerted effort.
It needs a lot of hands to be put together, and a lot of ideas.
The orphan problem does not only belong to people with orphans.

Throughout Africa, thousands of community-based organizations are addressing the needs of children and families made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. These organizations are strengthening the traditional safety net of the extended family through a range of vital programs and services.

Very few funds are reaching this grassroots level.
We invite you to join us in addressing this funding gap, and to become part of our growing network of supporters!
