Your Vision & Voices

“History will be our judge, but what’s written is up to us. Who we are, who we’ve been, what we want to be remembered for. We can’t say our generation didn’t know how to do it. We can’t say our generation couldn’t afford to do it. And we can’t say our generation didn’t have reason to do it. It’s up to us.” – Bono

Join the African Millennium Foundation in our effort to empower the powerless in Africa. We believe in every individual’s potential to make a difference and want to hear your vision and voices in the fight against poverty in Africa. Here are a few ways you can use your time, talent, and money to make an impact at your school:

•Students gain a unique educational and cultural opportunity through correspondence with students in Africa
•Encourage students to develop global understanding and their roles as ambassadors of peace

Develop school programs
•Develop an AMF club where students can create a forum to discuss how they can reach out to their peers and the community to spread awareness
•Create a social network where students learn how to act out their roles as global citizens

Hold school fundraising drives
•Raise money to support specific AMF projects
•Collect books and other school supplies to help improve the quality of education for students in Africa

Student service trip to Africa
•Experience first hand the crisis in Africa through cultural immersion
