WHERE WE SERVE

Africa is the world’s second-largest and second-most-populous continent. Civil unrest, corruption, and power greed have caused the continent to function below its full potential causing millions to live in massive poverty. Countless children across the continent don’t have access to education, water, sanitation and hygiene,  healthcare, food, and clothing, and many of them grow up without parents. The majority of the world’s natural resources are found on the continent of Africa but instability and lack of infrastructure have prevented their excavation.

What Children Face

Much work remains to be done concerning education, healthcare, rehabilitation and reintegration of child soldiers, the protection of orphans, and vulnerable children and families, the prevention of child abandonment and trafficking, and many others. For example, 10.6 million children don’t attend school. 11 million children under the age of 14 are forced to perform child labor.

Our Approach

Delano King Foundation is investing in the vulnerable population of Africa for the long term. Our focus is to meet the Physical and Spiritual needs of orphans, disabled, abandoned, and less fortunate children, and families and help to rehabilitate and reintegrate former child soldiers.

Our team works tirelessly to help underprivileged children and orphans receive an education.  This is achieved through The Delano King Foundation Africa Orphans Initiative Scholarship, which empowers orphans and underprivileged children by supporting the costs of their elementary and secondary education each year. Our end goal is to integrate these children into the community and inspire leadership.

Scholarship recipients include orphaned and underprivileged students who demonstrate academic achievement and a strong potential to succeed. The scholarship also provides physical and spiritual mentorship, intending to help students get support and assistance with their study of various subjects and establish a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As we move ahead in our work supporting access to education in Liberia, the Delano King Foundation hopes to eventually build schools and offer free education and tutoring within some of the most impoverished communities across Africa.
