Mission: Friends of South African Schools Fund, Inc supports academically gifted but economically disadvantaged schoolchildren in South Africa by providing grants to support them at preeminent South African schools. The schools identify promising candidates who possess the skills and commitment to realize their potential for academic excellence. Those students participate in a comprehensive program that provides them with both the financial support necessary to attend the schools and the ongoing counseling and mentoring necessary to nurture their academic and social development. The Fund was inspired by the notable success of similar nonprofit organizations in the United States and hopes to facilitate the application of the experience of those organizations to programs in South Africa.
Steve and Carol care so pasionaltly about the youth in Africa. They have helped build classrooms and provide inspiration to thousands! Also important is the education we here in the USA get about such a great opportunity to spread love and compassion halfway around the world. The Africa Hope fund truly gives hope to the youth of Africa.
