Sustain the
African Rural University to Empower
Rural Transformation
Can you make a five-year commitment to support Silvana's vision of the African Rural University? To educate Rural Transformation Specialists, like Resty (above) who live in rural communities, love the people in these communities, and help those people articulate and achieve the visions of the lives they want to create for themselves and their families?
In honor of Silvana Franco Veltkamp, the co-founder of both AFPF and URDT, we have established a fund to support the sustainable growth of the institution she envisioned to transform how rural development is carried out--both in Africa, and around the world: The African Rural University for Women.
