Donors Circle
Annual Donors provide critical support for our schools and programming in Africa. Without the generosity of those people who share our passion for serving Africa's children and communities, our work would not be possible. The Donor's Circle Mission is simple: "To support the children of Africa through education, play, nutrition, human services, physical fitness, computer literacy, and vocational career training."
