How it all began

History

Kids of Africa was born out of an unexpected begging letter from Uganda to Burkhard Varnholt. And from a positive response. This was in 1999 and was followed by a friendship and an idea. The idea of giving children without families protection, love and education. Because these are the strongest forces in the world. The result is a wonderful story whose future has already begun to shine.

Sustainable help on site

Ownership

Our focus is on direct, sustainable and independent assistance.

Kids of Africa guarantees that one hundred per cent of every franc donated reaches our many protégés.
