Working to ensure African children benefit from a good quality social and academic education
Our Goal
Redistribution of wealth and knowledge to support quality learning curriculums, and as a knowledge center for teachers and school leaders
Our Focus
Our key initiatives support access to reading through new or used books, writing, and creative learning in arts, music, STEM, non vocational resources and social and emotional learning.
Connect
Be a part of the solution. Share as little as 30 minutes, in the year. Join our “All hands on Deck” program to be a reading warrior’s’ buddy; Provide a home away from home, in our “Children’s Village” program; or contribute less than $2 per month for “Back to School supplies or our school restore programs”.
Collaborative Partners
We are humbled to partner with educational organizations, other foundations who already provide for initiatives we focus on, either only in the US or in Africa or both, and companies who wish to partner with our cause or provide work experience or internships for our trained students.
Bridge Africa Foundation works to promote quality academic and social education for African children. We do this through educational programs and collaborations with organizations who advance educational learning and well-being for children and opportunities for youths
We stand true in the saying that “the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes” – Marcel Proust. We therefore work as collaborators with existing organization to advocate and support their goal of long term sustainability for children’s education.
Bridge Africa Foundation believes in the power of education to secure a better future for Africa. Education is a one shot, if not done properly then as a society it will result in a lot of dysfunctional families, and there will be no innovative leaders that will drive our stability in the political arena, and our infrastructure.

Tenderfeet provides transportation to get the kids from poor areas to school and also provides that one substantive meal a day.

When we talked to a majority of schools in East Africa we learn about the CBC new curriculum, requiring a change in text books as mandated by the government.

With more funding available to Bridge Africa, we would go further, to ensure at least these dedicated schools like Havilah, Tenderfeet, and St Josephs Mixed Academy, have all the books they need. We know for sure a lack of resource should not hinder our African children and, and for us at Bridge Africa, we will do what we can. ![]()
