Empowering through Education

The US Africa Children’s Fellowship is a  501(c)3 organization dedicated to improving education for young people in Africa. As of November 2011, USACF has sent 19 40-foot shipping containers to schools in Zimbabwe (12 containers), Ghana (3 containers) and Tanzania (4 containers) filled with library books, textbooks, school supplies, sports equipment, toys and other needed materials. USACF is working hard to improve the lives of over 70,000 children. The next shipments are planned for Zimbabwe in January 2012 and for a new partnership in South Africa in late spring.
