Mission Statement

Africare works to improve the quality of life in Africa.

Vision

Africare works in partnership with African communities to promote health and productivity. Africare places communities at the center of development — in the belief that only through strong communities can Africa feed itself, develop and manage its natural resources, provide adequate education and vocational training, address people's needs for health care and disease prevention, achieve economic well-being and live in peace.
