Who we help

Street Children

There are increasing numbers of street children in Africa, and there is an insufficient and poorly-co-ordinated response to them. In key locations AfCiC works to prevent and rehabilitate these children. We provide educational, legal and family support to help children stay at home. And have Day Care and Rehabilitation Centres where children on the street make the break from that life and are supported back into families, education or work and community.

Internally Displaced Persons

Across Africa, millions are forced to reside in IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps when their native areas become uninhabitable. Among them is a majority of women and children who are malnourished, disease-prone and psychologically scarred by the devastations of war. Educational opportunities are scarce to non-existent in these camps, with very few schools, no resources and an acute shortage of teachers due to the security fear when working in these camps, which are often the target of rebel attacks. AfCiC provides basic literacy and numeracy education to young girls and women in the camps, aims to increase HIV/AIDS awareness and provides individuals with a means of producing income, helping to secure their future.
