The facts about Africa are, in many ways, dreadful and overwhelming. Most Africans are not sitting around with their hand out and doing nothing. They hunger for education, opportunity and change — they want to have meaningful lives. Any change in consciousness, to any African can and often does have a huge impact on Africa, and on the world.

Growing orphaned Africans into a consciousness of global responsibility and leadership does change things for the better.

Moreover, it is a necessary part of the solution to decreasing the massive numbers of orphans that are produced annually in Africa in future generations.
