How they are participating

Aid for Africa is an alliance of 85 US-based organizations working on the ground in Africa to make a difference in the lives of children, families, and communities. Our grassroots programs focus on health care, education, agriculture, economic development, conservation, and wildlife protection.

We plan on leveraging #GivingTuesday to kickoff our year-end fundraising campaign through social media and other efforts.

Your dollars will produce big results. Just consider some of what we accomplished in Sub Saharan Africa this year:

- Sent some 1200 girls to school, helping many avoid early marriage.
- Provided fistula surgery to more than 3,000 women, allowing them to return to their communities with dignity.
- Distributed more than 2 million books to schools, libraries, and learning centers, many of which had none.
- Provided clean drinking water to more than 400,000 people.
- Protected scores of lions by training former lion hunters to become community guardians.
- Distributed more than 18,000 bicycles built for Africa’s tough conditions to healthcare workers, small business owners, and students, impacting the lives of 90,000 people.
