African Youth Outreach, Inc. (AYO) is a local not-for-profit that provides
empowerment through education to those affected by AIDS.
AYO, established in 2004, is a collaboration
between medical personnel and educators. AYO works in South Africa
providing orphans with life skills education needed to survive, including HIV
and sexually transmitted infection prevention, drug and alcohol abuse, and
critical problem solving. AYO is also in the process of developing a domestic
education program with hopes of running summer camps in Dane County next summer
(2009).
AYO’s goal is to provide educational services to the increasing number of
children orphaned by the accelerating HIV epidemic, and to increase awareness
and educational opportunities of these issues in the United States. AYO is a 501
(c) (3) nonprofit organization, and all proceeds of fundraisers go directly to
the orphan projects supported by AYO.
