YOU CAN HELP CHILDREN & FAMILIES IN AFRICA TODAY

We have invested more than $14 million in community-based organizations since 1999 to help improve the lives of children and families affected by HIV, AIDS, and poverty.

In a region where more than 300 million people live on less than a dollar a day, the community-based organizations that we fund work hard to stretch every dollar as far as possible to make the biggest difference in children’s and families’ lives.
