AFRICAN CHILDREN/S CHARITIES
THE PROBLEM
In Uganda, a central African country of about 33,000,000 people, there are 3 million orphaned,
homeless children. The country has fertile land, mineral and water resources yet ruinous
dictators and the worst AIDS outbreak in Africa have fractured the society and brought the
country to its knees. And the children, being the most vulnerable, are destined to suffer the
most. For many of these youngsters the future is no further away than the next bite of food
they can find.
Scavenging something to eat or wear from the dumps becomes essential for their survival.
Daily they face the risk of death from starvation, contaminated water, AIDS, malaria and many
other diseases without any medical care.
But there is hope. With your help we can make a difference, one precious child at a time.
THE SOLUTION
Children deserve to have a home - a home that provides a safe, loving, home environment
where they can be cared for and nurtured in an extended family setting. This is what African
Children's Charities (ACC) provides to every child under our care.
"Grandmother" and "auntie", dedicated care givers, help each child to become a member of
the family and look after the physical and emotional welfare of the children. The children are
educated in a Christian boarding school, and encouraged to take advantage of educational and
personal experiences to become solid citizens who will give back to their community and
country.
More than 92 cents of every dollar received goes directly to caring for the children - we don't waste a penny! Our only expense is for the salaries paid to our Ugandan director, and the ladies, Grandmother and Auntie who care for the children.
THE MISSION
ACC is committed to rescuing orphans, one child at a time, and providing each child physical,
emotional and spiritual love and support, safety and physical well-being, medical care,
education through high school, and guidance to become a productive member of Ugandan
society.
