African Child Matters

African Child Matters supports grassroots organizations that help local kids lead healthier, more productive lives. We invest in a variety of projects, but place special emphasis on education, especially for orphans and children living in extreme poverty.

• In Ethiopia and Kenya, we finance programs for thousands of homeless children, kids victimized by poverty, war.
• In Ghana, we offer science scholarships to orphaned girls with a talent for math and science, but who lack the resources to pursue high quality education.
  
• And in Kenya, we support girls fleeing female genital mutilation and provide them with the opportunity to go school, start a business or learn a trade.

Each of our programs is guided by the belief is that Africa’s future rests with its children and that projects developed and run by local communities produce long-term results.
