Godfrey's Children is an organization dedicated in commemoration our lost friend Godfrey Msemwa from Tanzania, a true leader, always putting other people's interests before his own, especially when fighting HIV and AIDS.

Godfrey's Children is a youth-run organization dedicated to assisting orphans and vulnerable children in Africa infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. We work *within* communities to build capacity in identifying the needs of vulnerable children and youth in order to develop community-based programs that are sustaining and culturally appropriate.

Godfrey's Children has official status with the International Federation of Medical Students' Association. Our collaboration with youth and youth organizations around the world reflects our commitment to empower and create advocates amongst youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

UPDATE: Godfrey's Children received a donation of $12,000 from Africa Bridge in December 2002 to build an orphan center in Idweli village, Tanzania. The orphan center will provide pre-school education, nutritional services, basic health care, and other services for the care of orphaned and vulnerable children.
