Answering For the Children Ministries works with child services in Jinja, Uganda, to provide a loving home and family to children who have been abandoned by the circumstances of poverty and life in a third-world country.

Deidrah McAulay-Dodo is the founder and President of Answering For the Children Ministries in Southern California and an NGO (non-government organization) known as Answering for the Children (AFTC) ministries in Jinja, Uganda, in East Africa.

Serving parentless children 0 to 18 years old who are in need of the necessities to sustain life. Established in 1999 by a husband and wife team who act as parents to the children. Volunteers who love the Lord above all else and love children are welcomed (recommendation required).

Today, the AFTC Family has 31 children, 28 of whom are still at home and three are independent. Our goal is to maintain a close-knit family environment, raise our children until they are independent adults, and educate and train them to be productive members of society who love God and seek Him first in every area of their lives.
