Hope Rising for Children Inc.

African Aid Organization, Inc. (AFAID) is a non-profit organization devoted to providing first-class assistance, support, and education to the Most Vulnerable children in Sub-Saharan Africa. We help these children who are affected by HIV/AIDS or who deal with the hardships of poverty by investing in them and in their future. HIV/AIDS continues to be a major development, global health and security challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa. It reverses life expectancy gains, erodes productivity, decimates the workforce, consumes savings and dilutes poverty efforts. Fortunately, factors contributing to the problem can be addressed with strategic programs. Our mission is to provide young girls and young boys with the tools, knowledge and resources to protect themselves against HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections.

Our mission is not only to provide children/youth with the tools, knowledge and resources to protect themselves against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, but also to find lasting solutions to bring joy and fun in their lives and those of their loved ones. We work to feel the needs of youths dealing with the hardship of extreme poverty and living in the circumstances that lead to inappropriate sexual activities, poor coping skills and the lack of viable stimuli for positive growth.
