Who we are and what we do
Australian Sponsorship for African Kids is a charitable foundation dedicated to supporting African kids by financially supporting Nana’s House, a day centre in Chorkor, Ghana that is administered and staffed by NGO BASICS International. Without Nana’s House, children would be on the streets and the beaches unable to escape the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, child labour, and teenage pregnancy. Also, for many of the 100 children that visit daily, this is the only opportunity to have a hot nutritional meal.
With the education, health training and skills training they receive at Nana’s House, before and after school, they are able to turn their lives around. They receive assistance with their homework and private tutoring. They also participate in extracurricular activities including computer training, sewing, music and dance, cooking, art, poetry, sports, drama and filmmaking.
AS4AK has no overheads or operational costs - apart from the unavoidable bank fees and insurance premiums. Every dollar raised is applied directly for the benefit of the children.
