Kids with Knowledge (KWK) is a non-profit organization that was started in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, mass poverty, and economic hardships that has created many orphans and widows in African communities. KWK strives to provide economic, medical, and educational assistance to those in Africa and in the States with the hopes of empowering women, youth, orphans, and the elderly to become self-sufficient and independent. It is KWK's firm belief that knowledge holds the power to help make a difference in the lives of these individuals and create strong long-term communities.
