Orphanages for Africa is an international humanitarian and development charity. We aim to bring opportunity and hope to some of the most abused children in Africa. We offer a hand-up, rather than a hand-out, to Africans caring for orphans through orphanages and home-based care.Our strategy is to work solely through grass-roots African organisations with a Christian ethos engaged in caring for orphans. We seek to achieve our objectives by facilitating their growth. Our approach focuses on building the capacity of our partners and helping them to develop into self-sustaining organisations that have a real impact on the lives of orphaned and abandoned children in their communities.
