Here at Africa Aid, we are creating an exciting new model of nonprofit
assistance that enriches lives both here and abroad. Our unique community-to-community
vision is driven by a set of basic human values that are integrated within Africa Aids
project initiatives.
Smart Aid Prior to providing foreign assistance, Africa Aid insists
on obtaining quality information about our aid recipients. Gathered information includes the characterization of local
African needs and local conditions, which allows us to create incentives for local people to participate in our programs.
This process allows Africa Aid to tailor specific community-based assistance programs to our recipients and greatly increase
the likelihood program success.
Aid with Conscience Rather than imposing aid on African communities,
Africa Aid holds itself to strict values of cultural consciousness. By deriving aid projects
from community requests we ensure that our work is sensitive to local culture and results in
self-sustainable programs.
Environmental Awareness By educating communities about the importance of
sustainable development, we can plant the seeds for a better future. Africa Aid aims to minimize
negative environmental impacts by designing cost-effective and environmentally sound project
initiatives.
Mobilizing Resources By cultivating a network of support, Africa Aid directs
domestic resources to targeted African communities. In this channeling process, not only do we
achieve the goal of helping those African communities most in need, but we also enrich the lives
of citizens here at home.
Domestic Enrichment Local organizations and institutions have a unique opportunity
to provide students with the resources to design practical projects and gain valuable "real world"
career training. Africa Aid increases international awareness and fosters cultural sensitivity through
local education programs that utilize visual, audio, and physical data from Africa.
Education Every individual deserves an affordable and accessible quality education.
Africa Aid works to expand classroom opportunities for both children and adults with a focus on literacy,
health awareness, school lunch programs, and teacher training.
