Mission Statement (verbatim from website)

Our mission is to strive to give disenfranchised AIDS Orphans a chance to grow up healthy in body, mind and soul and to pursue their dreams alongside others in their natural environment.

Goal

Our goal is to contribute towards meeting the basic needs of AIDS orphans in Africa including food, shelter, clothing and education as well as providing health, social and psychological support.

To effectively utilize your dollars, we collaborate with local partner institutions in Africa that provide AIDS Orphans with the opportunities to get back on their feet and start more productive and joyful lives.

FADOA operates in four countries: United States, Cameroon, Kenya, and Nigeria.

Our partners in the United States consist of friends, organizations, associations and sympathizers.

In Africa we have partnered with existing non-government, religious and community-based organizations. Our Partners were selected on the basis of the kind of assistance they already provide to AIDS orphans as part of their work programme. Some of our partners have been selected on the basis of their potential and willingness to expand their services to provide assistance to AIDS orphans.

The intended primary beneficiaries of the Project are AIDS's orphans living in households or in institutions, orphans attending school and children affected by AIDS.

FADOA was founded by 3 retired staff of the United Nations (Ita Ekanem, Hannah Tiagha and Edward Tiagha) who served in Africa in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. They also served as senior professionals in their home countries before joining the United Nations. Among them, they have more than 75 years of experience working and aiding the less fortunate in Africa and the USA.
