Helping Kids Lead Awesome Lives

Kids are awesome, aren’t they? I know everyone agrees with me, but I think it’s worth reminding ourselves once in a while. Kids, the things they can learn that I won’t get a chance to, the things they already know that I don’t, the prospect of a new generation, a world in flux, are all awesome things to consider. But birth is a tremendous lottery with the highest stakes. Opportunities in life vary dramatically depending solely on your place of birth. What is most amazing though is that kids aren’t concerned with geographic and socioeconomic circumstances. It’s innate – children everywhere are born with an enthusiastic spirit that compels them to laugh loudly, make friends quickly and invent games instantly. Fun is priceless, and where there is no new ball, kids improvise one from discarded belongings. At Africare, we support those children in Africa that are vulnerable to losing this spark too soon, and we help families and communities provide opportunities for kids to lead awesome lives into the future.
