Unite the World with Africa Foundation, Inc.
On November 13, 2014, Unite the World with Africa Foundation, Inc. was incorporated as a Connecticut nonprofit corporation. Our Mission: To promote peace and prosperity for the world’s poor through the provision and advancement of health, education and micro finance programs. To find our partner programs and grantees, we go hunting. We venture as far off grid as possible to remote rural villages where we seek and find small-yet-exceptional NGOs (non-governmental organizations), charitable organizations and local leadership who are doing innovative work in excellence, having a positive and measurable impact on their communities and are in great need of support. In this technological age, such people can be found, reached, helped, trained, educated and empowered like never before. This is our job. Our partner grantees are highly self-motivated and have proven track records. The Foundation has no political or religious bias. Everyone is welcome, if they can deliver results. Once we’ve identified our partners, we stop and listen. They bring forward their ideas and strategic plans to empower and serve their community members, specifically women and children who are living in extreme poverty and suffering. Working side by side, we then work to deliver the resources, expertise and resources critical to their success. Along the way, we engage in ongoing communication; site visits for monitoring and assessment; and regular reporting back to donors about their impact.
