Who We Are

Welcome to One Child's Village – a nongovernmental charitable organization whose main goal is to provide support for HIV/AIDS orphans.

We identify the children of the world as the most vulnerable members in our global family. Thus we believe service rendered to children is the most sacred. One Child's Village aims to provide the conditions, training and resources needed for the physical, emotional and spiritual well being of children affected by HIV/AIDS.

We are a registered Canadian Charity
(BN: 815788476RR0001).

An Important Message to Our Supporters

One Child's Village places a high value on our relationship with you, our donors. Without your support we would not be able to achieve our mission to support children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. We thank you for your commitment to us.

We believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. With this in mind, we have recently joined Imagine Canada's Ethical Code Program.

Donate
Maximizing financial support for the children is important to us. One Child's Village functions solely on the contributions of volunteers and none of the organization's members are remunerated for their efforts. We attempt to keep overhead costs to a bare minimum, ensuring that almost 100% of the contributions received go directly toward the Village's designated projects.
