JUST FOUR SHORT YEARS AGO, the Unstoppable Foundation started serving children who were destined to live a voiceless, nameless existence in some of the poorest communities in Africa. They were at risk of death through water-borne illnesses, early pregnancy, malaria and AIDS.

TODAY, kids are thriving, getting top grades and learning not only how to read and write, but how to stay healthy by growing organic vegetables and using safe sanitation practices, as well as how to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS. Parents are learning new ways to generate an income, which enables them to keep their children in school. Entire families are now full of hope and excited about the future.

We support the Adopt a Village development model which fosters ownership of the project by community members -- partnering with them to provide education and sustainable solutions to help them lift themselves out of poverty. It's not charity but community empowerment and sustainability in the truest sense.

Adopt a Village is made up of four pillars crucial to lifting communities from poverty:

Education

Healthcare

Clean Water & Sanitation

Alternative Income

This approach assists children and their families with the resources and training necessary to eliminate the obstacles preventing children from accessing education and to break the cycle of poverty.
