Develop Africa

Mission

Develop Africa was born out of the vision that human resource development is the key to improving nation-building capacity in Africa. Develop Africa is involved in a range of programs in Africa supporting education, job skills/leadership development training, etc.

The general history of Africa since achieving independence has been a development failure. Develop Africa seeks to bridge the development deficit gap. Develop Africa's strategic mandate is to raise a new generation of African leaders by focusing on the human capital aspect of development. We envision an African continent fully developed regarding its human and resource capacity, free from poverty, ignorance, and civil conflict, and where the poorest and most vulnerable people become leaders and effectively manage their national resources.

In Africa, countless bright minds are prevented from higher education and success in the workforce due to their circumstances. We provide scholarships to these children, school supplies, vocational and leadership training, education in growing technological fields, mentorship, leadership training, and business support.

Additionally, we recognize that children need to be healthy and safe to obtain a proper education, so we provide everything from healthcare to sexual education, mosquito nets, and solar lights. We also supply disaster relief, which is crucial in areas lacking the resources necessary for a quick recovery time.

We all know the proverb, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." Well-known as it may be, countless problems could be alleviated worldwide if only that approach were taken.

At our 501(c)(3) nonprofit Develop Africa, we provide education, child sponsorship, leadership development, workforce empowerment, and more to poverty-stricken African communities. We aid in breaking the cycle of poverty, so our impact is not limited to those we directly help - future generations will be born into a healthier, more prosperous, and developed world.
