Orphans Against AIDS provides children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS with academic scholarships, nutrition, and health care. Founded in 2002, Orphans Against AIDS (OAA), an all-volunteer organization, currently supports 600 youths affected by the epidemic in Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda for the duration of their primary and secondary school education.
This splendid book is more than a primer on social entrepreneurship for human rights in the developing world. It is also a compendium of searing testimony about the immense practical challenges that idealistic changemakers can overcome by dint of their unflagging energy, incandescent visions of humanity and justice, and on-the-ground skills and resourcefulness. Zachary Kaufman has performed a great public service in orchestrating this admirable volume about how hope for the future can be vindicated even under the most unpromising conditions.”
