The common goal of these branches is to rescue vulnerable children in need of care and to trace and reunify children with their families. These children are often separated from their families by poverty, the HIV\/AIDs epidemic and the increase of rural\u2013to-urban migration.<\/p>\n<p>OAfrica depends on the generous donations of individuals and businesses, as well as volunteers and partners, to help us carry out our work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafrica.org\/home\/who-are-we-our-history\/\">Read more about the history
