In addition, there is a crisis developing in Africa as the number of orphaned children left to fend for themselves continues to spiral. PFA, therefore, also supports HIV/AIDS orphans. African women and children are suffering in huge numbers and disproportionately as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

PFA has identified, initially, two organizations in each country that will be supported through the program. Some organizations identified in each country support economic empowerment activities of women and others provide support to HIV/AIDS orphans.

PFA Philanthropists ProgramPFA is establishing the PFA Fund for our nonprofit organizational partners in the eight countries mentioned above.
