Our focus at Hands for an African Child is to provide a family environment where orphaned children will feel the love of a mother and father and learn of God's love for them. Our goal is for these children to become self-reliant adults, breaking the cycle of poverty of most orphans in Africa.
Many orphaned children in Africa are living on the streets or in the forest/bush on their own. The lucky ones are put into dormitories with 30-40 children sleeping in a room packed full of bunkbeds, receiving rationed un-nutritious meals.
Our approach is to:

After his second visit, Brian Matthews realized there was a better way to help orphaned children in Africa. By delivering loving family homes with a mother and a father and providing a quality education. Hands for an African Child is one of the best methods to raise orphans to become self-reliant adults.

While there are many good charities to donate to, knowing that you are helping raise an orphaned child in Africa who has lost both parents is quite possibly the best choice you can make. 100% of your contribution goes to our sister organization in Uganda, also called Hands for an African Child.

100% of your donations go directly to Uganda where we have a community of 12 homes on a 200 acre farm with 136 orphaned children. These two children shown in this picture are cousins. Both of their fathers died of diseases, then one of their mothers died. Her sister (the other mother) was then hit by a truck and killed, leaving both boys as orphans, being raised by their aunt, who didn't have money for food or clothes. We brought these boys to two loving parents in our community who have their own 2 year old daughter. These two pictures were taken 4 weeks apart.
