Africare in the Community

In the foundational years of Africare, our leaders worked tirelessly to involve Americans in the development of Africa, and they found that getting Americans to care about a distant land was not as hard as it seemed. This concern for community, which rested at the heart of Africare’s establishment, remains with the organization today.
