Vision:

Our vision is to provide opportunities and an environment in which individuals can explore and
realize their full potentials in life. We strive to instill in the people we empower, the culture of
self-reliance and support them to bring development and positive changes in their lives as well as
in the lives of the members of their community. We believe Africa needs partners in
development, not charity.

WE ARE A UNIQUE ORGANIZATION:

Since founding, Africa Project, Inc., staff and volunteers have worked diligently to build the
organization and promote its mission. We rely heavily on individual support from our supporters,
donors and volunteers. Our unique approach to addressing Africa’s many development challenges
is that, we promote empowerment, not charity. It is our belief that, if given the opportunity, every
human being has a potential to succeed in life. Therefore, it is of benefit to African countries and
people to collaborate, partner or cooperate with others outside the continent in their endeavor to
pursue development. It is also imperative that African people focus on human development in
terms of education, health, culture and social enterprise as opposed to charity and waiting for
handouts

EDUCATION PROGRAM:

Our education program focuses on primary, secondary and higher education. We identify
talented, brilliant, impoverished, orphans, refugees and former child soldiers and match them with
sponsors who commit to paying their educational expenses so that they can go to school. We have
also created a scholarship fund to benefit this program. To be eligible, a student has to identify
with at least one of the above category of focus areas. Other aspects of our educational program
include providing internship, volunteer and student exchange opportunities for students in
America and African Universities so that they can gain experience and learn from each other. Our
program also provides donated educational resources like textbooks, computers and other
resources to local schools and institutions in Africa.

CULTURAL PROGRAM:

Africa Project, Inc., believes that culture and tradition are vital elements of human identity. Great
nations, societies and civilizations have flourished because they have integrated culture and
tradition as important aspects of their lives and identity. We promote culture by organizing
cultural evens, cultural awareness programs and partnering with cultural groups in different parts
in Africa to promote what they do. We also match our interns and volunteers interested in culture
and anthropology to work with community-based organizations that focus on cultural programs.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:

Our goal is to promote self-reliance and we do this by promoting development programs in rural
Africa. We believe that every human has potentials to do well and to develop. We partner with
development organizations and institutions in Africa helping them achieve their goals. We also
promote self reliance through provision of resources that help rural famers, youth, individuals and
organized community groups develop based on their identified needs. Africa Project, Inc., recruits
interns and volunteers who are skilled in development, farming skills and experts in different
fields to work with local farmers’ groups as well as development projects achieve their goals. We
partner with local and international institutions that promote development in Africa and help them
reach out to those in need of their services.
