Mission: Friends of Africa Education is a nonprofit organization providing access to education for children in sub-Saharan Africa.

Vision: We seek to inspire students and their families to reach their full potential, by developing essential skills to attain social and economic independence.

St. Margaret's Academy, Tanzania

St. Margaret’s Academy is a nursery and primary school supporting over 450 students. Many of the students are AIDS orphans or live in socially vulnerable situations. Despite vast challenges, the school is academically ranked one of the top 10 in the country out of more than 14,500 primary schools. FOAE continues to build classrooms and provide educational scholarships for St. Margaret's students.

Uluthe/Mungao Kenya

FOAE supports four schools in the Uluthe/Mungao area. Tragically, 40% of the students in this region are orphans. The community is in desperate need of more teachers, classrooms, and school supplies. Not all of the children in the community can attend school because these essentials are lacking. FOAE continues to build classrooms and fund repairs of existing school buildings.

    On a recent trip to Tanzania, my husband and I met the young girl and her family whom we sponsor at St. Margaret's Academy. It was the highlight of a wonderful two weeks and getting to know her has inspired us to be sure that she receives every opportunity to be successful in her life.

    FOAE is helping people to help those in need that we would otherwise not even know exist.

    Friends of Africa Education not only changes the lives of children but also changes the lives of their supporters. A trip to Africa to see the schools and visit with the students will change your life forever!
