18,240,000. This is the total number of orphans in West Africa, which represents up to 10.64% of the population under 18 years old in the region, according to UNICEF’s 2012 report. HIV/AIDS epidemic is the main factor that fuels the orphan crisis in Africa. 6,000 children are orphaned by HIV/AIDS every day - that means 1 newly orphaned child every 14 seconds.  Poverty, maternal mortality, unwanted pregnancy, war & conflict as well as the latest Ebola o utbreak are causing more kids to become orphans. It is estimated 2,102,400 more children become orphans every year. In addition, there are about 150,000,000 street children in Africa who were not counted in that number and they are mostly orphans.

Moving from Volunteering in Orphanages to Community-based Care

Moving from Volunteering in Orphanages to Community-based Care zoom For many years Projects Abroad has worked closely with orphanages and other residential care centers to help provide better care and support to vulnerable children. Our volunteers have made a significant impact by improving living conditions at these orphanages and creating opportunities for children through supporting their education and care. However, placing children in orphanages and residential homes should be the last resort for any child. Wherever possible, children should be raised by their parents, close family, or a foster family from the extended community. This community-based approach to care is a more sustainable and long-term solution to caring for vulnerable children than orphanages. Over the past several years, our  Care Projects  have gradually shifted focus to community-based care. Our goal is provide more support to local organizations and community-and family-based care so children are rai
