Who We Are

Bringing Joy to Every Child

The Foundation for the African Child is made of Catholic parishioner families and friends who together wish to extend happiness and fulfilment to children in Africa and beyond through gift giving by donations.

We provide gifts and presents to children and their families. Nothing is sold. Everything is absolutely free — books, bicycles, toys, clothes, shoes, computers. We support academically inquisitive children.

Motto

We Bring Happiness!

Vision

We strive to provide the essential necessities that no child can deny

What We Do

Making a Difference

We build small libraries with our books and build small playgrounds with our toys where there was none.

Toys

Bringing joy through play and imagination

Books

Supporting education and literacy

Clothes

Providing essential clothing items

Bicycles

Enabling mobility for children

Computers

Bridging the digital divide

Family Support

Essential items for entire families

How We Do It

We accept donations from families, make good use of books and toys from closing schools, and generally make new use of old essentials. Every item finds a new home where it's needed most.

Who We Serve

Reaching Children Everywhere

Hospitalized Children

Children who need toys, clothes, and books while recovering. Children in hospitals whose parents are hospitalized.

School Children

Preschool, kindergarten and lower grade pupils in struggling and makeshift schools.

Remote Communities

Children in far away inaccessible villages and towns, removed from the usual glory of being in big cities.

Our Promise

We provide gifts and presents to children and their families. Nothing is sold. Everything is absolutely free — books, bicycles, toys, clothes, shoes, computers. We support academically inquisitive children.
