Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

OAfrica helps families of children at risk of abandonment and gives them secure futures within their communities. We work to strengthen families and communities so they can care for their own children. We believe that poverty and ill health are not reasons for separating children from their families and that children living in institutions should be resettled through family tracing and fostering
