Since 2018, we have worked in Senegal to ensure that children are safe and protected.
About Us
Our Mission
Africa Children’s Foundation (ACF) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization established to offer aid and resources to children and youth in African countries. As a foundation, we aspire to provide a cultural link throughout the African diaspora and promote awareness of ongoing African issues while providing aid to the motherland to the fullest potential. Our mission is to use our platform and voices to build a better life for families in West African countries. We aspire to create a comfortable environment and opportunities to help children in low socioeconomic communities live a meaningful life. Our centers and programs hope to give children access to housing, education, and adequate healthcare.
Our History
It all began with an idea. After an internship in Senegal, Maimouna wanted to do something to change the living conditions of children not only in Senegal but around West Africa as well. A team of incredible African women came together to create change. ACF’s main objectives include ensuring children have access to the necessities they need to live a comfortable life and creating outlets where they can be their authentic selves.
Our Values
ACF stands strongly on its three core principles which are to teach, protect and guide all children. We were established to ensure that children/youth are protected in their home countries by supporting their rights of access to education, healthcare, and shelter. Our main mission as a foundation is to ensure and provide a happy and safe environment where children/youth can learn and grow. Our vision is to build children centers in West African countries to house abandoned children/ youth, our centers will be a safe place for individuals to express and be themselves.
