Welcome to the West Africa Foundation!

 

West Africa Foundation (WAF) is a non-profit organization for the children of West Africa.  The Foundation is creating real and lasting change for children in need. The history of the Foundation is a story of positive change.  Join us in creating opportunities for these children to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.

The inspiration and vision of the WAF came, in part, through working with families to define and solve the problems they face on a daily basis and to better their standard of living. 

The communities have no way to school their children, are using aniquated methods of farming and have no lavatories - some even don't have clean water.  There is no application of basic medical knowledge - even a minor cut can quickly escalate into a serious infection. 

The communities face challenges which can easily be answered.  Will you help to ensure self-sufficiency as the cornerstone of West Africa Foundation’s programs?  Our programs include Education and Health. 

Education:  Access to education enables people to break out of the poverty trap and enhance the quality of life for themselves and their community.

The foundation builds preschools and classrooms, develops rural village education programs, teaches environmental awareness and helps to build capacity into  these communities. 

The Foundation also conducts vocational training programs and facilitates children's education programs. The education programs are established to provide West African children better access to education so as  to increase the literacy rate among communities.

The Foundation trains teachers in the  "Active Learning Technique" - a method that provides incentive to teachers remain in the teaching field, constantly expanding their opportunites and expertise. 

The Foundation provides adequate facilities and learning materials for proper education.  A core mission of the Foundation is to help provide the children of West Africa with a quality life. 

Health:  The Foundation's goals are to increase significantly the rate of healthy and vaccinated children, to provide medical equipment, to ensure access to vaccines and other primary health care. 

Despite vast advances made in medicine over the past decade many communities in rural Africa still do not have access to medical facilities and primary health care. Various factors, such as poverty, malnutrition and unemployment all contribute to ill health.

The WAF assists by facilitating the building of clinics and accommodations for support staff and the upgrading of existing, but inadequate, primary health care clinics.


The W A F is committed to improving  these less fortunate children’s lives. Please join us to help build schools and health care centers.

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The specific purpose of this organization is to provide educational, cultural, medical, and other assistance to children in West Africa communities. It is our intention to help those less fortunate to help themselves, that they may in turn assist others via training and resource development to increase opportunities for employment, medical care, manufacturing of products.
