Africa is Life Changing

Another organization Shelly Tipp is involved with is “Africa is life changing”.
Africa Is Life Changing Inc. is a humanitarian organization dedicated to nurturing the lives of women and children in Kenya. The AIDS pandemic ravages Kenya daily, leaving children orphaned, unprotected, and struggling to survive. These children lack the critical necessities—such as clean water, food, and shelter— that most of us take for granted. We understand that we can’t do everything, but we can all do something. Through two annual expeditions staffed by 25 volunteers, AILC works to relieve the suffering and instability of Kenya’s needy girls and boys. Our volunteers tutor in math and reading, assist the medical screening process, play games with children, hold and comfort infants, and encourage hope in young hearts.
