FADOA helps AIDS-orphaned children in Africa grow, learn, and thrive.
Who we are
Friends of AIDS Orphans in Africa (FADOA) is a US-registered nonprofit that helps children who’ve lost one or both parents to AIDS. We focus where large programs don’t reach, i.e., rural and conflict-affected communities. Test
This allows orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Cameroon and Kenya to stay with family, remain in school, and build healthy, productive lives.
Our mission
To ensure AIDS-orphaned children in Africa are fully integrated into their communities—healthy in body, mind, and spirit—and supported to pursue their dreams.
Local first: We fund and build capacity of trusted community-based organizations.
Whole child: We strive to meet ALL basic needs of he child including daily essentials, education, accommodation and psychosocial care.
Evidence-aligned: We target high-need regions and interventions shown to improve wellbeing and, for HIV-positive adolescents, treatment outcomes.
Transparency: We insist on donation tracking and regular reporting.
Our approach
Founders & leadership
Founded by retired UN professionals with decades of field experience across Africa. Today, FADOA partners with local leaders in Cameroon and Kenya to deliver child-centered support.
“We will never give up hope as long as there is one AIDS orphan in Africa.”
