USafricare is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to help save and improve lives of AIDS orphans, prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other crisis through social awareness and global health campaign with emphasis on the third world regions and communities with high prevalence of HIV and other health epidemic.

Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 14 million children under the age of 18yrs are orphaned as a result of AIDS. More than 12 million of these children live in Sub-Saharan Africa, where it is currently estimated that 9% of all children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. HIV is fast becoming an epidemic in these regions and HIV-associated mortality is expected to occur within this decade; as a result, millions of children will lose parents to AIDS. By 2010, it is predicted that there will be around 15.7 million AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The number of orphans in some Sub-Saharan African countries exceeds half a million, and, in some countries, children who have been orphaned by AIDS comprise half or more of all orphans nationally.
USafricare is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) charitable organization that aims at helping to improve lives of the less privileged people in this world.
