About Aussie Aid for Africa

Aussie Aid for Africa is an Australian charity housing, educating and caring for AIDS affected orphans in Tanzania.  Beginning in 2007, AA4A raised the funds to establish Tumaini Village in Arusha, where there are 24 children under our care.  The unique village concept gives the children as close to regular family life as possible and encourages the growth of strong ties with the wider community.
