SELECTION PROCESS AND APPLICATION
Focus on Education and Family
By focusing on education and family, we build sustainable, long term growth instead of providing a temporary fix to problems. Better education and stronger families in Africa means a better Africa. A better Africa means a better world.
The Role of Women in Africa
Women play an essential role in African development, which is why many of the programs supported by Harambee USA Foundation are operated by and for women. Our initiatives aim to help the African nations understand the risks their communities face by not educating girls. Harambee is committed to making the African woman’s contribution to African national development not only tangible and long lasting, but positive and life-sustaining as well.
