Anir Experience/Anir Foundation
The Anir Foundation a (501c3) non-profit, was founded by Adrienne Belafonte Biesemeyer
along with her daughter Rachel Blue in 1997. As News broke about the HIV/AIDS
pandemic in Southern Africa, they felt they had to do something; lots of organization give
$$ to a problem, but few give man power and a chance for individuals to make a difference
with their own two hands.
Anir Experience is here to help North Americans see and to experience the beauty and
wonder of Southern Africa while truly giving a helping hand.

WATCH (We are the Children)
Is TAF’s newest division, focusing on
resilient children of conflict & strife;
concentrating on the issues and
environments surrounding the emotional
and physical wellbeing of children caught in
tribulation (political conflict, War, domestic
violence, HIV/AIDS and abject poverty), yet
show extraordinary survival skills and
emotional fortitude.
WATCH has 3 main areas:
1. to celebrate, support, and encourages the
resilience of child survivors (ages 5-25),
children who were caught in tribulation but
who have shown extraordinary survival skills
and emotional fortitude.
2. Our main drive is to combat child slavery:
child solders, prostitution, unfair labor
practices, and homelessness.
3. WATCH looks to works with other
organizations already well established who
have a success record for leading the fight
against child violence and degradation.
At present WATCH's focus is sub-equatorial
Africa. Our programs will serve:
Angola, Burundi, Democratic Republic of
Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique,
Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland,
Tanzania, Uganda*, Zimbabwe (*Uganda is
considered part of East Africa but inspired
the development of WATCH and so is
included in our service area).
