Friends of Aids Orphans in Africa (FADOA) is dedicated to working towards the full integration of African AIDS orphans into their communities so as to enable them to live as normal a life as they can and eventually become productive members of their society. We need your help to assist the 80% of the total world AIDS orphans who live in Africa. Only 3% of the orphans receive any kind of support. Most importantly we need your assistance to moderate the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Some of the most obvious effects are:
The near-zero chances of a child’s access to basic necessities such as shelter, food, clothing, health and education, when the child loses one or both parents to AIDS.
A rise in numbers of child-headed households, child care-givers as well as grandmothers who are forced by the demise of their children to take care of their grandc
hildren.
Eroded traditional family support mechanisms due to excessive demand from the needy.
High incidences of sexually exploited orphans.
High prevalence of school drop outs among AIDS orphans.
