Our Work

Create a Safer, Healthier Place to Learn

We recognize that schools need help meeting the fundamental environmental needs of students in order to make educational opportunities possible. Delivering education is not just about tuition, classrooms and teacher supplies - the first steps to a successful education often come in the shape of plumbing pipes, cement blocks, and rain-proof roofing.

Boarding school makes it possible to get an education on a full stomach in a safe environment. Asante Africa Foundation are improving infrastructure by building new schools, adding classrooms to overcrowded schools, as well as improving access to water, food and sanitation.

We are committed to understanding the true need from our local contacts and helping where we can be most effective in our mission.
