Aid for Kids (AFK) was  established in 2005 and is a licensed 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in Houlton, Maine.   We are licensed  in Maine, registered in New York and also licensed  as an American NGO with an office in Vietnam. AFK is  approved by the CFC (Combined Federal Campaign – Federal workers charity fund) as one of America’s Best Charities, approved by ICA (Independent Charities of America) and CCA (Children’s Charity of America). All U.S. staff are volunteers and most services are donated. Our overhead is always less than two percent. When we see a need we meet it – without the  endless committee meetings, needs assessments or focus groups,. We are committed to developing humanitarian aid projects such as nutrition and feeding programs,  providing health care, equipment and supplies, building shelters, developing education and training programs, student sponsorships, and meeting emergency needs for children and families.
