What We Do
The Alliance for Youth Achievement (AYA) is a US
501c3 nonprofit organization that was was founded in
1999 to provide partnership, financial support and
advocacy for small, grassroots organizations assisting
AIDS orphans and street children. We believe, and
research has supported, that smaller organization are
typically more efficient in utilizing funding, and a small
amount of money can make a big difference in the
lives of the children they are helping.

We help our partners in a variety of settings, including
schools, orphanages and foster homes, medical
projects, and micro-credit or income-generating
projects. AYA strongly believes in promoting solutions
that offer improved self-sufficiency through education
and income-generating activities. Through the
compassion and commitment of people throughout the
world working together, we truly believe we can impact
the lives of the millions of children affected by AIDS
and living in extreme poverty.
Misson Statement:

AYA provides resources to African-based efforts that care for and give hope to children in their communities.  AYA’s support helps our partners increase their capacity to improve the quality of life for the poorest and most vulnerable children in Africa.
