Description
Aid for Africa ceased operations on September 1, 2020.
Aid for Africa was a charity alliance of U.S.-based nonprofits and their African partners working to help children, families, and communities throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Aid for Africa members were all dedicated to solving the complex, inter-related challenges facing Africa. Members realized that, as effective as they each are on their own, they can be even more powerful when they approach Africa's issues as a group. Together their members, with their partners on the ground in Africa, touch almost every aspect of the African community. Whether they were collecting and distributing books to school children, introducing medical strategies to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS, or identifying and supporting women's micro-enterprise projects, Aid for Africa's members had one thing in common - a passionate desire to help the people of Africa solve critical problems and build a better future for their children and communities
