Our Mission
Quality Education will be made available by providing physical infrastructures for all children attending school, providing teaching resources and educational materials and scholarships/sponsorships for highly motivated and academically gifted children
Description:
Asante Africa Foundation, Inc. is an East African Children's Education Fund.
We are a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to providing quality education to children in East Africa. We form partnerships with African communities and work with passionate local program managers who are deeply committed to creating change in their African villages. We envision African communities and families in which children have the opportunity to receive QUALITY education to define their futures. Generous contributions from Asante Africa Foundation donors bring these dreams to life.
Local villagers define their needs for achieving quality education, through infrastructures for all children attending school (such as construction of schools and sanitation facilities, serving a daily meal), providing teaching resources and educational materials, and funding scholarships / sponsorship for highly motivated and academically gifted children. We are a totally volunteer based organization.
History:
Asante Africa Foundation’s beginnings.
Erna Grasz and her husband visited Tanzania in 2005 and were saddened by lack of clean water, sanitation, and basic education. During their trip, they met Emmy Moshi, who works tirelessly to improve living conditions for children by building schoolhouses in impoverished villages. When Erna returned from Africa, she researched ways to support development efforts in Tanzania and Kenya. Asante Africa Foundation was officially incorporated in the state of California in August 2006. While we await IRS approval, our "not for profit" status comes under the 501(c) (3) umbrella of the Tri Valley Community Foundation providing our donors with 100% tax deductions in accordance with all IRS giving laws
