Our goal is to raise global awareness to the overlooked but growing challenge of caring for Africa’s most vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS and their elderly caregivers.  Help them by adopting a grandmother and her family for only $25 a month.

Can you teach Math and Science?

We have a shortage of qualified Science and Math teachers for our educational projects in Tanzania.

If you are a retired or any professional or proficient in this area and can travel to volunteer to teach, consider sharing your skills with students in ARK projects. ARK projects provide free educational services to underprivileged children from low income families who otherwise would be left out of the education system. Our programs rely on the support and assistance of dedicated volunteers who are committed to the uplift and empowerment of African children and families.

On March 11th, Rhoi Wangila, Executive Director of the Ark Foundation of Africa, recently spoke on a panel held by the Council of Women Leaders and AARP on the issue of grandparents and grandparent care.

Other presenters included Amy Goyer, national coordinator of AARP Foundation, Dr. Merril Silverstein, professor of Gerontology and Sociology at the University of Southern California, and Betty Cornelius, founder of CANGRANDS, a national grassroots organization providing support to the 70,000 grandparent and kinship families across Canada. The conference provided an overview of the economic, social, and political struggles of grandparents worldwide. We hope this conference will bring global awareness to the issues faced by grandparents worldwide.
