One day of giving.
Give from the heart.
About our mission
The American Foundation for Children with AIDS (AFCA) is a non-profit organization providing critical comprehensive services to infected and affected HIV+ children and their caregivers. Our programs are efficient, promoting self-reliance and sustainability. Since 2005, in collaboration with our in-country partners, we have served tens of thousands of families in some of the most underserved and marginalized communities in Africa. Our areas of impact include: medical support, livelihoods, sustainable food solutions, sanitation, educational support, and emergency relief.
AFCA is transforming lives in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
About our goal today
Climate changes are wrecking havoc in many areas of the world and at AFCA, we have been hard at work trying to mitigate what we know is coming: a violent and extended El Nino which is said will drop excessive rain in central Africa and will bring drought to southern Africa. With this in mind, we are digging of boreholes so that greenhouses can continue to produce food for orphans and community members in Zimbabwe. We are making goat food so that, when fields dry up, they can still eat. We are elevating chicken houses in Kenya so they don't drown when the floods arrive. We are digging ditches around gardens so that excess water can run to the river instead of flooding areas that produce food for entire communities. We need your help to fund all these mitigation efforts.
Will you help us prepare by making a donation today?
No ordinary Tuesday
GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity held every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It began in 2012 as a simple idea: set aside one day to give back after the shopping frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Since then, it's grown into a worldwide movement, with millions donating and volunteering—all on a single day. Join the movement today!
