 African Family Film Foundation assists children in Africa through the African Family Children's Fund, presently focusing on children at risk in West Africa. We provide nutrition (millet, sorghum and/or corn organically grown in Africa) and cotton blankets (hand-woven by African artisans) to children and their families. We engage in the redistribution of wealth while encouraging local organic farming and the ancient art of weaving cloth. |
We are dedicated to raising people's consciousness and appreciation of African culture worldwide. We attract and receive support as a result of screenings and exhibitions in public venues, through outreach and by direct appeals to individuals and publicly supported institutions.
Our award-winning films are in libraries, schools, colleges, universities, archives, museums and community centers in 35 states and eleven countries.
Through the African Family Children's Fund, we actively support grass-roots projects and schools in Africa that teach children ecologically sound skills: sustainable organic farming, reforestation and solar energy production.
African Famine Alert!
Currently we are focusing our efforts on helping people at risk due to the recent locust infestation and drought, and the resulting famine and displacement of families in the West African countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania and Niger. This is an emergency situation, over 5 million people are on the brink of starvation. Conditions are dire and thus we are making a special appeal for your assistance.Due to the devastation of African American communities in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, we are also collecting donations to help the survivors.
Please support our efforts to help African children and their families. Even a small contribution can make a difference. Many small contributions as well as large contributions can make a BIG difference. Act now!
