Strengthening Family and Community Care
for Orphans and Vulnerable Children
in Sub-Saharan Africa

Text-only Version

“For the millions of children across Africa who have been orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS, the promise of the future lies in the compassionate response of families and community members taking action on their behalf. Investing in community-based organizations that strengthen the capacity of families to support children in need is one of the most effective ways a donor can make a direct and real difference. We must never forget the importance of family and community in the life of a child.”

Archbishop Desmond Tutu
July 2005
