Who We Are

 

Orphan Support Africa (OSA) is a 501(c) 3, nonprofit organization that works in partnership with community based organizations through poverty relief, sustainable development, education, and HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives to improve the care, protection and support of orphaned and vulnerable children in Sub- Saharan Africa. Our aim is to help promote and create self reliancy and ownership.

We believe in 100 percent local ownership and participation of the communities that we work with. OSA facilitates collaboration within and between communities that have been severely affected by HIV/AIDS and chronic poverty.  OSA supports community based organizations in mobilizing and harnessing community strengths and resources in sync with local traditions and cultures; to take care of the growing numbers of orphaned and vulnerable children. The drastic and severe effect of HIV/AIDS has left communities overwhelmed with growing numbers of vulnerable children. OSA partners and supports community based orginizations that are on the front line in providing critical , safety net programs and care to children, families and communities most in need.
