The Global Alliance for Advancing Holistic Child Development (HCD Global Alliance) affirms the value of children. We understand that in order to properly care for a child, we must provide for the child’s physical, cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual growth. This is a challenge and a mission. At AfRU, we believe it is vital that the organizations who care for children have leaders that are equipped to share the compassion of Christ and hope of the Gospel to the orphaned, abused, and abandoned children throughout East Africa. AfRU has joined the HCD Global Alliance to equip Christian leaders with the skills and insight necessary to be powerful advocates for children across the globe.
