Mission:
Africare helps Africa. Over the course of its 30 years, Africare has become a leader among private, charitable U.S. organizations assisting Africa. It is the oldest and largest African-American organization in the field. And Africa is Africare's specialty. Africare's self-help programs assist Africans in the broad areas of food, water, the environment, health, private-sector development, governance and emergency humanitarian aid. Africare now reaches families and communities in 28 countries in every major region of Africa, from Egypt to South Africa and from Senegal to Mozambique. Since its founding in 1971, Africare has delivered more than $350 million in assistance -- 2,000 projects -- to 35 countries Africa-wide. Africare was created by Africans and Americans, working as partners, and receives its financial support from one of the most diverse donor bases in the charitable world. A special area of concern today is the AIDS crisis. Every minute, another African child dies of AIDS. Millions of African children are AIDS orphans. To learn more, including how you can help today, go to the Africare AIDS Alert.

Additional comments:
Africare's dedicated supporters range from large corporations to private individuals, from foundations to community groups. Some people are moved to give to Africare through their love of children or a desire to help others become self-sufficient -- or simply because they know their gift will make a real difference in another person's life. Some have an interest in Africa as a result of travel or life-long interests. Many African Americans feel their special hereditary tie with Africa and support Africare as an African American organization dedicated to helping Africa. Still other donors are challenged to play a visible role at the front line of Africa's economic development.
