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.
How can anyone make a difference in a world marked by genocide, civil war, refugee crises, disease epidemics? With conscience, hope, and sweat equity, Dr. Zachary Kaufman and the other contributors to this book have offered aid, created organizations serving victims of human rights violations, and learned from set-backs and failures. Their insight into challenges of sustainable fund-raising, organizational design and management, and skepticism about young Western volunteers can inspire and instruct others who hope to address suffering and injustice through initiative, analysis, and commitment.”
