Sustainable Living and Education for All Children Orphaned by Natural Disaster and Conflict
AO [èi-o] n. ancient Polynesian word; 1. pure light; 2. all colors; 3. daytime
AO Foundation International is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. We serve as a global portal for philanthropy highlighting several well established and efficient charities, such as the GlobalGiving.org initiatives. Our primary focus is to help provide sustainable support for children, orphaned by natural disaster and conflict. The vision for AOFI began with the world/new age music group AOMUSIC and their excursions to record children in remote villages around the globe. With AOFI we hope to establish a new and effective way for the music arts to wage hope and promise for impoverished children in a time of great change and global transformation. Founders: Richard Gannaway, Maya Christobel and Miriam Stockley
