Description

African Children's Haven serves more than 700 children and their families. Our projects focus on the most vulnerable members of society, especially orphans and girls. Because we ourselves are small, we can provide services directly to children that might not otherwise receive support from large non-profits or international donors. Our work includes orphan care, nutrition, preventing childhood marriage and childhood mutilation, providing scholarships, providing support for teachers, protection vulnerable children, preventing HIV/AIDs, and breaching the digital divide.
