Mission Statement:
The Foundation for Orphaned, Abandoned and Disabled African Children, FOADAC is a non-profit organization founded by African sisters living in America. FOADAC's mission is to give love in a home for children who lost their parents from HIV/AIDS or neglected due to a childhood disability. Providing direct support, care and accommodation to Africa's most vulnerable children is our main focus. Our goal is to partner with as many Americans, Africans, individual organizations as well as government and corporate bodies to build a strong and dynamic resource to restore the future of these orphans.

History:
The founding sisters are originally from the Atlantic ocean town of Limbe in Cameroon, West Africa. We were very fortunate to be brought up in some affluence considering our surrounding, because we wore shoes and drove in a car to school, ate bread spread with butter and jam for breakfast and drank Ovaltine with it. Our father used to joke that we were putting more than the manufacturer's amount of two heaped spoons of Ovaltine in our cup and so the can lasted less than a week! He will go on to add if we knew that other children did not have at all much less the excesses we took for granted. Several years later we found out what he meant. We visited an orphanage just fifteen miles from our home and that kept us thinking. Today living in America, the land of milk and honey we decided to do something for these orphans. That is something which will put a smile to their face, a roof on their head and love.

As HIV/AIDS plagued Africa, it rendered even more children motherless and fatherless. Coming even closer to home was the disabled children which according to some old traditions and customs were considered to be the rejected ones by the gods and so should be left untouched, uncared for and abandoned. Nothing can be furthest from the truth, hence the disabled children's need are not only special but require devotion to give them a chance to a normal life. Today, FOADAC is geared at providing a loving home, special education and therapy to these children with developmental and mental disabilities. All other orphans will be raised educated and trained to survive in the real world from age zero to twenty-one. Currently the orphanage in mile 15 is our first adopted orphanage, many more are yet to be adopted or constructed as funding becomes available.
