Welcome to Fani Foundation.org, the online home of the organization. Since 2007, the
Fani Foundation Organization Inc.® has given hope, strength and joy to people living
with HIV/AIDs and their family. From our humble beginnings with my mother's wish to be
able to help people in need.
We are trying to achieve these goals thanks to an unmatched network of volunteers,
donors, sponsors and staff members. Everything we do is focused on enhancing the
condition of pregnant women, children, new born babies, people living with HIV/AIDS
and to promote computer education in West Africa and USA, and we devote ourselves
to serving them first: Approximately 85 percent of each dollar we are going to raise will
go directly toward granting their wishes and encouraging clean environment, which
promote healthy living.
Please explore our site and learn about our mission. We hope you’ll be moved to get
involved. We have many volunteer opportunities to suit your talents, and we always
welcome new donors and sponsors. Thank you for visiting our Web site!
Warmest Wishes,

will not stop till her dreams are met.
