Mission Statement
To empower AIDS orphans and street children through partnership with innovative, grassroots organizations in the developing world.
Description
AYA partners with small, locally-run organizations providing care and opportunities for children affected by AIDS and/or living on the streets. We believe that smaller organizations can efficiently use a little amount of money to make a big difference in the lives of the children they are helping. AYA works with a variety of organizations including orphanages, schools, micro-development programs, and other community-based organizations in Cambodia, India, Kenya, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, and Vietnam. Since we guarantee that 95% of all donations reach our partners, we rely on the commitment of volunteers in sustaining our mission.
