Q:
How will my donation be used to help the children?
A: The AID and CARE, Inc was
established to support the abandoned and orphaned children whose parents have died
of disease, disaster, hunger, killed in the war, genocide, and those destitute
impoverished children whose parents can no longer afford to take care of them. Unless
otherwise instructed, your donation will go to support our current project
phase. We are now raising money to provide to build “ Orphanage Home
Center and New Hope Secondary School.
In
2009, the AID and CARE, Inc furthered its mission by funding, among other
things:
The construction, building and furnishing costs for the
new New Hope Primary School which
is now hosting more than 3000 children in Mabior village, Southern Sudan. AID
in collaborating with Cook International Foundation and Concern Group

the former war affected and
impoverished region of Aweil,
Southern Sudan.
Medications: Provide medical supplies such as malaria
tablets, animal bites medicines, mosquito nets.

required to attend school. Participating in our ‘Love-a-Child’ program will

supplies.

Initiative has 53 caring mothers (caretakers) who temporary house them on short

Q:
How can I help the AID and CARE, beyond making a donation?
A: Individuals interested in
donating their time or skills to forwarding the mission of the AID and CARE are
encouraged to join our board members and volunteers. You can also use one of
the fundraising programs stated in other pages. Involve friends and family to
help increase awareness of the most vulnerable orphans and children that exist
in every corner of Southern Sudan and Kigali Rwanda and raise money to give
shelter, food, clothing and an education to those children.
Q:
Can I volunteer at The AID and CARE in Southern Sudan?
A: Absolutely, we encourage people to visit our work in
Southern Sudan for one or two weeks and you will make a difference. We need
volunteers to teach English in our schools, help orphans by counseling and caring
them. We appreciate your interest in volunteering. Please call us at
716-913-8361 to find out about our latest short term mission trips. We
also need volunteers interested to serve on our board of directors and
volunteers
Q:
Can I donate clothes to the AID and CARE Orphanage program?
A: Absolutely, however, we appreciate donation of
clothes, but the high costs of shipping ultimately makes donating non monetary
more expensive than taking the money we raise to purchase them. If you donate
clothes along with shipping cost, that will help otherwise it will be a waste
of clothes if we will be unable to ship them. Call us at 716-913-8361 for more
information
Q:
I am a medical doctor, nurse or dentist and would like to assist.
A: The children are in need of
annual medical and dental exams. For those who desire to assist children in a
developing world, please visit the MED Team page on our website.
