ACTION FOR CHILDREN (AFC), Kampala<br />
$5,000 AFC is a child rescue and advocacy agency that uses child and adult counselors to provide psychosocial<br />
support and life skills training to children affected by the war in Northern Uganda. The organization also<br />
offers revolving loans to support income-generating activities. They reach children through youth clubs that<br />
meet twice a week to help them cope with the effects of HIV/AIDS. The Firelight grant enables AFC to train<br />
30 counselors who will reach 100 adolescents and train 18 youth in leadership skills.
