Be part of the Change!
Did you know thousands of rural girls are more likely to drop out of school due to social, cultural, or economic circumstances?
Through fundraising with our North American partners, we work in Africa to help rural girls and young women access education, food, health, social welfare, and environmental sustainability and become economically self-sufficient.
AFPF was founded in 1981 as a US 501(c)3 in Concord, Massachusetts, to harness their inner creativity to improve the lives they want for themselves, their families, and their community.
“Our mission is to serve the expression of partnership which bonds all peoples of the world.”
THE NEXT HOPE FOR AFRICA
In a world where every small action can lead to significant change, the power of donating can make a substantial, meaningful impact.
For over 40 Years, AFPF’s work has transformed countless lives.
Testimonials
“Uganda is far, far away, both in the distance and in terms of how we live here in the U.S. Yet URDT/AFPF is one of my largest charitable beneficiaries contributing to human benefit, well organized and well managed. Any amount I can donate to AFPF/URDT changes more lives for the better than any domestic philanthropy could achieve.... I imagine a day when there will be a network of rural universities based on URDT’s model through thedeveloping world ".
