Orphans and Vulnerable Children

Africa’s children need care. AIDS continues to kill an entire generation of parents. Government systems fail woefully to meet ongoing needs. Poverty forces many children to the streets. AfricaHope has established a multi-component program to meet the holistic needs of these children.

We facilitate the placement of children with families in the community. Typically even willing families need help to provide enough food. Sometimes caregivers need care, and so we offer counseling and encouragement to those who have taken on this demanding calling.

We sponsors periodic camps to encourage the children in a fun and creative way. But the camps also provide an opportunity for the children to receive health screenings and classes on disease prevention.

For spiritual guidance, we provide prayer circles and Bible study groups and coordinates consistent mentors for children. Often children need additional counseling services due to the loss of parents and other traumatic events, and we offer that too.

We award scholarships to promising students in order to receive better training at a private boarding school.
