Trust of the Month winner – FACE AFRICA

A heartful thanks all of our friends and supporters who voted for FACE Africa during the All for Africa Trust of the Month competition. I am so humbled by the outpouring of love and support.

School will help fight hunger and hopelessness – Georges Malaika Foundation

Toddlers played in the shade of trees, tracing circles in the rich red earth, oblivious to the crushing poverty surrounding them. Parents, acutely aware of the crushing weight of that poverty, called out to them as an entourage of cars pulled... Read More
