About OrphanAid Africa

OrphanAid Africa (OA) is a U.S. 501c3 non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco California. The organization was originally founded in Ghana in 2002 and additionally has registered branches in Europe with the shared aim of assisting the many orphans and vulnerable children in need of care as a result of the twin stress of the HIV/AIDs epidemic and the increase of rural–to-urban migration in Ghana.

OrphanAid Africa depends on the generous donations of individuals and businesses, as well as volunteers and partners, to help us carry out our work.
