We Don’t Give Aid — We Build Capacity. We believe people are the drivers of their own development, and we empower them to create the futures they envision.
"I especially want to support African Rural University which trains women to move to small commmunities where they teach the community members to build, grow, and raise their standard of living. Any donation I make to AFPF changes more lives than any domestic charity could. I envision a future with a network of rural universities inspired by URDT's model throughout the developing world."
