Fifty-eight percent of African children do not attend school. This rate has increased dramatically in the last ten years.
Unlike American children, African children must pay to go to school. Most parents struggle to raise enough money to pay for school fees.
The African School Fees program's major objective is to make Americans aware of the tremendous problem that is occurring in the African culture.
The African School Fees program desires to “link” American sponsors with African children who are in desperate need of acquiring an education. Education is a major vehicle of breaking the cycle of poverty.
It is our goal not only to sponsor a child’s education, but to provide a nutritious meal and medical care.
The African School Fees program's mission is to make people aware of the tremendous need that exists in this continent. Over half of the world’s population lives in Africa and half are children.
