All Our Children First

Mission

A charity organisation to help children in distress.

To Pioneer and Advocate for those who have no voice, an environment which challenges traditional, institutional concepts of ‘care’.

Founder

Glenda Butler’s childhood dream whilst growing up in Wales was a deep-seated longing to care for babies in distress in Africa.

The Story Behind It

Glenda married and moved to Africa, had children and developed a successful career as a music teacher. The “dream” became a reality in her response to an incident of armed robbery in her home in 1996. Glenda was brutally raped and her children were threatened and traumatised by the event. Apart from the immediate emotional distress associated with the incident, her distress was exacerbated by the concern of possibly having been infected with Aids.

AOCF has developed a significant vision in response to the needs of children experienced over many years, and now needs to establish a base upon which to pursue this vision. The Director and founder has done a remarkable job of sustaining the organisation and the community has supported her efforts by donating goods, food, materials and funds.
