Amitofo Care Center International
Mission Statement
Help vulnerable children including orphans, HIV Aids, abused, and poverty-stricken children in Africa with K-12 education to prepare them for global employment opportunities, and better able to change their destinies while improving the fate of their nations.
About This Cause
We focus on building and providing shelter and primary and secondary education for vulnerable children (orphans, HIV AIDS, poverty-stricken and the abused) in Africa. Since 2004, Amitofo Care Center — or ACC — has worked to provide international donor-sponsored, formal K through 12 education opportunities with full care facilities for vulnerable children, as well as to foster gender equality in children from underprivileged backgrounds. The ACC ecosystem is built around the United Nations’ first 6 Sustainable Development Goals (No Poverty; Zero Hunger; Good Health and Well-Being; Quality Education; Gender Equality; Clean Water and Sanitation), and is designed to ensure that each child’s needs — both personal and educational — are met. On campus, we teach the local African formal curriculum, coupled with English and Chinese language skills — so that children are well prepared for global employment opportunities, and better able to change their destinies while improving the fate of their nations. We empower children through Buddhist principles and Confucianism, and foster wellbeing through martial arts physical education and meditation.
