This foundation has been established to address the decline of primary, secondary and collegiate education in Africa. Education has an extraordinary potential for eradicating poverty and creating stable nations in Africa. But the collapse of the African economies, diminishing support from governments, corruption and mismanagement has led to precipitous decline in education at all levels.

Primary school enrollments in many African countries are the lowest in the world. Extreme poverty and political instability often force school-aged children out of schools. Schools lack the basic resources needed for providing formal education such as textbooks, pencils, papers, trained teachers, chairs, desks, and libraries. According to the U.S. State Department, there are 42 million school-aged children in sub Saharan Africa that are not enrolled in schools; of which girls account for a majority.

Higher education in Africa is in serious decline. Again diminishing government support, government intrusions that erode institutional autonomy and mismanagement of scarce resources have contributed to decline in standard and the near collapse of most universities. Pernicious of all is the brain drain to Western Europe and the U.S, which has left continent without the expertise needed to lift it out of poverty.

We believe that education is critical to the success of Africa’s future in eradicating poverty and creating democratic institutions. This foundation seeks to promote a holistic education, embracing and relating knowledge and faith to every aspect of life and culture in the Christian tradition. We further seek to promote education with values, values that promote human dignity, human freedom and democratization of knowledge.

We are convinced that the determinant of poverty and the current gap between the wealthy nations and poor nations is not due to the lack of natural resources or distribution of income, but the distribution of knowledge.
