Be part of the Change!
AFPF was founded in 1981 as a US 501(c)3 to provide financial and strategic resources to support sustainable development and education in Africa.
Because thousands of rural girls are more likely to drop out of school due to social, cultural, or economic circumstances, we work in Africa to help rural girls and young women access education and become socially and economically self-sufficient.
