What the charity does

E3 empowers local Christian partners to bring hope and enable sustainable development in communities affected by poverty and HIV in Africa. We help orphaned and vulnerable children, refugees and people living in some of the poorest communities to escape the cycle of poverty, through education, the relief of sickness and hardship, improving livelihoods and advocacy against gender-based violence.
