Fight childhood cancer, diabetes and hunger by supporting medical and food programs,
health education and emotional/spiritual support for children and their families
worldwide endangered by disease, poverty, abuse and disasters.
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”.
