Disease-free Water/Sanitation
In Africa, 80% of the children do not have access to clean water. In many areas, women and children must walk for hours to find water. At the same time, animals are drinking and urinating in it! Animal carcasses often lie rotting at the edge of the water.

Hygiene Clinics
African mothers, especially new mothers are taught basic hygiene practices--starting from the bathroom and moving to the kitchen--to help safeguard their children's welfare.

War Against AIDS
As a continent, Africa has the highest number of people affected by HIV/AIDS. 70% of all the infected adults and 80% of all the infected children live in Africa. Furthermore, 2.2 million out of 3 million worldwide deaths occurred in Africa.

Some of our programs include:

ZAMBIA: Orphans receive food, clothing, and shelter. They also have a Care Giver who provides God's love and teaches basic living skills.

TANZANIA: The Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) are Cared within Communities and over 248 OVC are in Foster Families. Hofai is also looking for Partners to help in Opening Community Schools Systems in Tanzania since it has worked well in Zambia.
