We are a child-friendly organization committed to building a meaningful future for children in rural Africa starting in the Ogoja region of Nigeria.
We have the following aims and objectives:
- Building community education centers that offer quality education and scholarships for rural children and youths.
- Health-related awareness and improvement for children and their caregivers through the use of clinics, hospitals and health centers.
- Credit building and economic security for impoverished families based on the philosophy that poor people are credit worthy.
- Agricultural training in the formal school system for both children and adults.
- Faculty and student exchanges, especially US scholars going abroad to complete internship programs related to our specific causes.
