We believe that the key to development is knowledge and that is the reason why the Foundation for Africa is primarily focusing its efforts on education. Through the years, more than 4000 disadvantaged children have been able to gain knowledge at our educational facilities in Africa. We pay attention to our students even after the final exams and support their higher education studies. We are proud to announce that a former student of ours, Daniel Kasongo has successfully obtained a degree in International Studies. By earning the degree, the fatherless young man, whose life had been full of vicissitudes, has a fair chance to be self-reliant.

This is how Daniel, now 25 years old, recalls the most difficult period of his life: “In the camp we lived in stables reconstructed for migrants, but – thanks to a non-governmental organization, J.R.S. – at least we had the opportunity to study. We finished the first six grades of primary school and then it all ended. The owner of the territory wanted his property back, so every migrant had to leave the camp. The following period was again extremely hard for us as we had nowhere to go.” Thanks to their diligent mother, Daniel and his siblings later continued their studies. Hard work has paid off: Daniel has become a learned young man.

We thank the supporters who have contributed to Daniel’s study costs. Helping is priviledge!
