About Us

The purpose of ALFKA is to deliver comprehensive educational programs to daycare facilities regarding the testing, cleaning, and monitoring of lead dust that can be tracked indoors through foot traffic from parents, daycare providers, and the children themselves. Our primary focus is to educate daycares about the detrimental impact of lead dust on the development of young children. We provide in-depth guidance on proper testing and cleaning procedures for lead dust, offering assistance with the procurement of lead dust wipes for testing and cleaning purposes.

Our overarching goal is to offer free lead dust testing and cleaning materials to daycares in need, empowering them to integrate these practices into their regular routines and allocate resources within their own budgets. Additionally, we facilitate educational visits from our volunteer EPA Lead Licensed inspectors and Lead Risk Assessors, enabling daycares to benefit from their expertise. Our goal is to also offer free XRF inspection on all painted walls, windows and painted components to make sure all paint is lead free.

By implementing these initiatives, we aspire to ensure that no child is exposed to lead contamination originating from external sources, such as foot traffic, which subsequently accumulates in dust and may be ingested by children through hand-to-mouth contact
