STAY CONNECTED

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Firelight Foundation is to improve the well-being of children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. Firelight supports grassroots organizations that help families and communities meet the needs of their children.

OUR APPROACH

Firelight’s approach to grantmaking is: Child-centered. Family-focused. Community-based.

We believe that grassroots programs arising in direct response to children’s and families’ needs within the local community are often the most effective.

Although local communities are the greatest source of support to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty, far too little donor funding is directed to the grassroots level.

Firelight seeks to address this gap by providing small grants directly to community-based organizations (CBOs) that are effectively responding to the needs of vulnerable children.
