Orphans Against AIDS strives to break the cycle of HIV/AIDS by ensuring that children orphaned or made vulnerable by the epidemic receive a high-quality education, nutrition, and health care.

Orphans Against AIDS (OAA) was founded in 2002 and is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization.  Currently, OAA annually provides more than 600 youths who have been orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS with academic support for the duration of their primary and secondary school education.

1. Provide funding for academic support that cover the cost of school fees, school uniforms, school supplies, books, a desk and a chair (as needed), transportation to and from school (as needed), a nutritious diet, and health care (e.g., vaccinations, physician check-ups).
2. Build our partners' capacity, prove their model's effectiveness, help with grant-writing and website development, and make introductions to other leading donor organizations that can help our partners' projects scale.

Orphans Against AIDS is an all-volunteer organization, overseen by our Board of Directors.  Because the OAA officers fund 100% of our organization's administrative and travel costs, all donations made to OAA by foundations, corporations, and individuals go directly to the educational scholarships of the youngsters we serve.
