Mission Statement
To unite people from any background to help vulnerable orphans as cost-effectively as possible.
There are many organizations bringing good into the world. Some regularly receive huge donations and pocket substantial amounts of contributions as overhead costs. Andrews Dream Chasers Inc is entirely volunteer-based ($0 internal salaries) and ensures all contributions maximize basic necessities for orphans in poverty who would otherwise be homeless, malnourished, and uneducated. We assist legitimate underfunded charities, with our only partner to-date being Someone Cares Africa.
Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s)
Simply put, Someone Cares Africa (SCA) helps orphans in need. The 11-worker team of this rural east Ugandan community-based-organization provides life-saving necessities to 200 orphans who have $0 to their names. Their half acre functions as an orphanage and school for the children aged 2-16. Approximately 150 kind low-income widows/elders living nearby essentially function as foster parents, providing homes for the orphans despite being in poverty themselves. These caretakers occasionally receive emergency aid (corn, salt, sugar, and soap) through SCA when times are dire and it is financially possible.
Someone Cares Africa’s Founder and Executive Director, Marich able Chemonges, has made his life goal to help orphans, personally knowing the struggle of growing up broke without parents and deeply inspired by Jesus Christ. SCA has been officially recognized by Uganda’s government since November 2019. Before 2019, Marich spent a few years in his early 20s after college working with a humanitarian group called “Foundation of Poor Orphans Uganda.” Here’s a link to his first Instagram post in 2016. Marich gained enough experience with them to successfully create a charity for his rural hometown.
Kapchorwa, Uganda, in the rural, mountainous region near the huge waterfall tourist attraction, Sipi Falls. Over the past few years we’ve helped them upgrade from a torn tent on borrowed land, to brick-walled, tin-roofed shelters on their own half-acre.
Until ADC formed there was no official “Western” representation for SCA, and only a couple ways to transfer donations to them.
- We make donations to SCA U.S.-tax-deductible and easier, making Stripe, Paypal, Google Pay, Apple Pay and even handwritten checks available as funnels.
- We communicate with SCA daily.
- We collaborate to better organize, promote, and fund our shared mission, minimizing losses and volunteering our work for free.
Founded in a state of clarity while processing the sudden death of the always kind and inclusive Andrew Louis Acuff, we work on ourselves and together to improve the planet’s average quality of life as much as possible. Many folks haven’t learned how massively beneficial donations to low-income communities are. Let’s be the proof.
