AFRICA FOUNDATION FOR LITERACY AND INNOVATION (AFLIN)

MISSION STATEMENT AFLIN provides the opportunity for underprivileged, and poor Africans to receive a quality education. AFLIN prepares its students for an economically free life, thereby giving them the ability to remove themselves from poverty and be entrepreneurially self dependent. This is accomplished through the provision of schools and centers, for both adults and children, where the students are educated on the power of being literate.

Many adults in Africa, especially women, are unable to attend school due to lack of resources and lack of encouragement from their families. With AFLIN women and children are encouraged to go to school and learn to be self-reliant in society.
