Abaana is a charity run by four full-time workers, two part-time and many volunteers, for the benefit of less privileged people in Africa. The word "Abaana" comes from a language found in the country of Uganda (East Africa) and means "children.” Most of our work is geared towards children in Africa, but not exclusively. Abaana was set up in January 1998 and aims to show young people that through sacrificing a little time and money, they can also get involved in making a difference.
