Help hundreds of street kids escape drugs, sexual exploitation, crime and disease with life-changing shelter and food, medical care, emotional/spiritual support and job training in Honduras, the Phlippines and Kenya.
Why do we exist?
ACHF brings practical relief and hope to children around the world endangered by disease, poverty, abuse, war and natural disaster. Our tangible aid and the gift of hope reaches orphanages, schools, clinics, hospitals and community centers, right down to individual families and street children. Local groups know who needs help, and how best to deliver aid; our assistance strengthens those local efforts.
ACHF helps fight childhood cancer, diabetes and hunger through medical and food programs and health education. We support efforts to create an environment where children are unconditionally loved… something every child needs.
ACHF’s goes far beyond traditional “delivery of aid”, to promote pediatric palliative care and hospice in developing countries, helping those families for whom medical attention for their children sadly comes too little, or too late. Such tragedies are a sad reality in the overwhelming need everywhere for resources to survive, and to have hope.
ACHF changes lives, one child at a time.
What have you accomplished?
In 2005-200, ACHF shipped well over $15 million of food and other life-saving supplies, including vital medicine, medical equipment and supplies, to impoverished citizens of Honduras, El Salvador, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, the Philippines, and Panama. We placed a special emphasis on fighting AIDS and cancer, strengthening prenatal care, and reducing infant deaths.
In 2009 we have expanded these outreaches to South Africa.
We offer our local partners in developing countries technical and human resource assistance, including project management strategies and accountability resources, so they can do a better job for the people they serve.
In 2008-09, ACHF volunteers visited hospice efforts in Honduras and South Africa and delivered workshops about “caregiver care”.
