African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) is a leading non-for profit/non-governmental organization working to promote and protect the rights and well-being of children (and young persons) across Africa.

Since 2014, we have been mobilizing people and resources to advocate, protect, proactively provide interventions especially against child witch branding and other forms of abuses.Over the years, we rescue and shelter homeless children accused of witchcraft, provide quality education both to sheltered children and those on Home Support Programme. We have, to date successfully rescued and transformed over 200 homeless children through education and awareness programmes.

While some of our beneficiaries have been reunified/reintegrated into the society (with some still drawing support from ACAEDF), others – 72 are directly under our care. They are accommodated in our facility (Land of Hope –a well-constructed purpose-built children care center that is equipped with hospital, skill/vocational training center, Library, children’s parliament, sporting/recreational facilities, etc).

We aspire for a society free of child witch branding and all forms of child abuse.

PARTNERSHIP

We believe that children’s rights and wellbeing
