Africa Initiative
In the Spring of 2004, the Foundation initiated a 3-year partnership with Church World Service referred to as the Africa Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to protect the rights of and to provide support to orphans and vulnerable children living in the countries of Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya who have been affected by HIV/AIDS, war and famine that they may be empowered to manage their own well being and the stability of their families, to participate in the social and economic development of their communities, and to live in the shelter of hope. The initiative will reinforce the capacity of and support the expansion of church and related organizations to build child-centered programs and networks.
In December 2007, the Foundation begins another 3-year partnership with Church World Service in support of the Africa Initiative in East Africa as well as expansion into Southern Africa focusing on orphans and vulnerable children in the countries of Mozambique and Zambia.
