Helping Children

Helping children who have been orphaned by parents with HIV/AIDS is our sole mission. A tidal wave of death is sweeping across Africa. HIV/AIDS is destroying nations, communities and families; the children are the most vulnerable. Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned by a merciless disease that could claim the parents of over 20 million children by 2010. Only a united Christian effort can turn the tide. The Mission of Stand for Africa is to turn ignorance into awareness; indifference into compassion; and despair into hope. HIV/AIDS could kill a continent and the dreams of a generation... but NOT if we Stand for Africa and stand for the children affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa .

what can a dollar do?

What can a dollar do in America?

  1. Sit on your dresser as change
  2. Get lost in the bottom of your purse
  3. Buy a pack of gum
  4. Buy an inexpensive cup of coffee
  5. Buy a cheap toy in a dollar store
  6. Buy a small box of french fries

What can a dollar do in Africa?

  1. Pay for a doctor's visit
  2. Purchase Malaria cure for three people
  3. Feed one child three meals for a day
  4. Buy a pair of pants, a shirt and some underpants for a small child
  5. Buy enough water for a family of three to drink for a week

Make a choice!

CAREFUL SPENDING

I carefully measure the money I share
I don't want my own cupboards to ever go bare,
I could actually give more
But there are so many poor

BITING DEATH

Why not bite death? It is easier to access and accept on an empty stomach.
