Our Mission

AFC is founded on the belief that all people, regardless of place of
birth, sex, or current medical condition, are entitled to certain basic rights, especially education and healthcare, but that the burden of ensuring that these rights are granted rests equally with society. In some circumstances, such as those that exist in poor nations, citizens and governments are unable to demand or provide for their own rights. Even in well developed, wealthy communities, however, some may fall through the cracks. Our goal is to support the peripheral members of communities, those who lack the means to support themselves. AFC executes its own projects in developing nations where services for such persons are limited, and also supplements basic care for the less fortunate in developed nations. In order to help to lessen the burden imposed on individuals in reduced circumstances, AFC also devotes itself to education and awareness of issues affecting isolated communities. Believing that consciousness is the first step towards action, AFC campaigns to educate so that individuals may also contribute towards bettering the lives of others.
