ANCHOR & Orphan Rescue

.

ANCHOR - African Network for Children Orphaned and at Risk

ANCHOR is a dynamic and remarkably effective partnership of Rotarians for Fighting AIDS (RFFA), Hope Worldwide, Coca Cola Africa, Emory University’s Schools of Public Health and Nursing, and the International AIDS Trust.

Over the next five years, ANCHOR will scale up its efforts to provide comprehensive and integrated community-based care and support for an estimated 165,500 orphans and vulnerable children in seven countries: South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, and Kenya. By providing targeted training and support to more than 40,000 community-based caregivers, the program will increase the capacity of affected families and communities to care for and support these orphans and vulnerable children, vastly improving their living conditions, health and future potential.

Orphan Rescue

Rotarians for Fighting AIDS (RFFA) launched the Orphan Rescue initiative as an offshoot of the ANCHOR program, to provide African orphans daily nutritional support and to make it possible for orphans and vulnerable children of HIV-affected families to stay in school. Only $450 a year - $1.23 per day - provides a child with daily nutritional support, psychosocial counseling and support, and continued education by covering the costs of uniforms, supplies and school fees.

Without the critical support of the Orphan Rescue program, tens of thousands of African children would otherwise grow up without even the most fundamental necessities: basic nutrition and an education.
