Angels for Africa was founded in 2005 following Sallie Butterfield’s visit to Kenya, as a volunteer with Adelaide based NGO World Youth International. Since then a dedicated group of volunteers have worked together to create and/or sell a variety of handmade leadlight artwork (angels, tulips, birds, butterflies etc) raising funds to support various school related projects predominantly in the Kisumu region of Kenya. AFA’s aim is to improve the quality of education for children in some of the poorest communities in Kenya.

Best Future schools is the free and safe learning space for vulnerable (albinos and non-albinos) in Nakivale Refugee Settlement Uganda. Its mission is to provide equal education to all nationalities in Nakivale. There are more than 350 children and 101 adults who learn from Best Future School. We strongly believe that education is the most powerful weapon that we can use the change the world.
The Victoria League was approached by CEDAC an Adelaide organisation to help fund a Sewing, Design and Tailoring Program. We donated money for the purchase of sewing machines, and all materials required to teach the Refugees how to sew. This prepares the refugees for the work world with entrepreneurial skills for both employment and self-employment. All the articles they made were sold which helps buy more materials and also helps the refugee. They made clothes but also found a need for face masks. |
We have had a relationship with the Redemption Medical Centre for some years now but our latest endeavour was to build a Children’s Ward next to their current facilities. The Children’s Ward will be a 10 bed facility used for children when they are sick or need surgery. A parent/caregiver will also be able to stay with them whilst they are in hospital. This project unfortunately has been stalled due to COVID lockdowns.
