Artists for Charity operates a children's home in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for HIV positive orphans. The Home provides all the basic necessitites for caring for these children, such as food, shelter, medical attention, and school fees and supplies. In addition to the bare minimum, however, the Home focuses on creating a small, family-like environment that resembles a typical home.
Meet Mekdes and the kids at AFC. Art, Art therapy & visual arts has made a huge impact on the daily lives of these children...allowing them to have a childhood. You can see that these children have a great foundation so they live life to the fullest.
