Helping children with care.
Africa is home to 52 million orphans, more than 30% of the global total. Without support, they face hunger, poverty, and exclusion from education.
Sponsoring an orphan is one of the most powerful acts of compassion. Since 2019, ARCD has sponsored over 3,000 children across Africa, providing not only material aid but also holistic care and human connection.

THE CHILDREN FALLING THROUGH EVERY CRACK
Across Africa, millions of children are growing up without the safety, stability, and love every child deserves. Without support, they face hunger, exclusion, and a future shaped by loss rather than hope.
52 Million Children Without a Safety Net
Africa’s orphans face hunger, poverty, and exclusion from school, often cared for by families with few resources. Without consistent help, they risk child labor, dropping out of education, and a lifetime of disadvantage.
The Hidden Cost of Being Left Behind
Lack of sponsorship means missed school fees, food insecurity, and no emotional support to process loss. It’s not just the absence of money, it’s the absence of stability at the moment a child needs it most.
Holistic, Long-TermCare Rooted in Family
ARCD believes orphaned children should remain with their families whenever possible. We provide resources so guardians can give the love and stability every child deserves.
