Acenda is a 501c3 charitable organization. All donations to Acenda are tax deductible.
Acenda, a small
non-profit organization, was created, with the specific goal of helping place
orphans in Mozambique with caring Mozambican foster families. However, while many families are willing to
help, they cannot afford another child to feed, clothe, and pay the educational
fees of books and uniforms on their own.
Acenda provides the necessary support for these families to make it
possible for these orphans to continue to live in a loving home. Acenda is a volunteer organization with 100%
of its proceeds going directly to the children.
