Ark Foundation of Africa
- I Implementer
Description
For almost 30 years, ARK has played a unique part in bringing attention to the needs of African families affected by civil wars and HIV/AIDS - by working in equal partnerships with local communities. ARK uses a participatory engagement approach in all our programs where community members in project areas are involved from the start, through implementation, program evaluation and in finding lasting solutions locals can use to keep the projects going when ARK pulls out. Locals learn how to identify and utilize their own resources effectively. ARK only contracts local people to work on its projects, volunteers from outside work side by side with the locals. ARK is a child-focused organization, whose mission is to improve the quality of life for Africa's most vulnerable children, youth, women, and communities by partnering with them to learn strategies and skills to help themselves and others.
