WHAT'S HAPPENING
In March 2020 the CAFA President Karen Jones received a recognition award from ANIQUEM President Dr. Raul Rodriguez.
This recognizes the substantial ongoing contribution CAFA is making through its programs in support of the rehabilitation of the burned children at the ANIQUEM clinic in Lima Peru.
CAFA is pleased to announce the 'Catch the Ace' fundraiser by one of our important sponsors 'Rotary Ajax'.
Details are at www.ajaxrotarycatchtheace.org, and tickets can be purchased there as well. Click here for more!

WHY WE HELP
An issue that can't be ignored
In Peru, high levels of poverty, lack of education and limited or no access to long term healthcare and rehabilitation can lead to tragedy.
For the 7000 child burn victims every year, life-long disability is a very real possibility.
Together, we are working to change that.
HOW WE WORK
More than just fundraising
After a serious burn, there are many barriers that can prevent successful long term recovery for victims.
CAFA works to make treatment - both physical and psychological - accessible and affordable to victims and their families.
From transportation assistance to-and-from treatment centres, through academic scholarships, and group camps for recreation and self esteem, CAFA ensures that children don't let a single tragedy define their entire lives.
OUR MISSION
Helping children in need
CAFA is the Canadian Friends of ANIQUEM, a not-for-profit, registered charity.
Together with ANIQUEM - a not-for-profit clinic located in Lima, Peru - we help provide assistance and rehabilitation services to children injured by burns.
Through our work, we've helped provide services for over 3000 children and counting. To learn more about CAFA, what we do and how you can help, please explore the resources below.
