Results: Since our inception in 2019, the International Fund for Development and Modernization of Angola (IFDMA) has been dedicated to sponsoring scholarships for 33 deserving children, providing them with access to education and essential resources. These scholarships have enabled these children to attend school regularly, pursue their academic goals, and break the cycle of poverty in their communities.
Looking ahead, our goal is to expand our impact and increase the number of children benefiting from our scholarship program. By the end of 2024, we aim to sponsor scholarships for a total of 50 children, reaching even more families and communities in need. This expansion aligns with our commitment to promoting education, literacy, and sustainable development in Angola and beyond.
Through strategic partnerships, fundraising efforts, and community engagement, we are confident in our ability to achieve this ambitious goal. By investing in the education and future of these children, IFDMA is investing in the future prosperity and development of Angola, empowering individuals and communities to thrive.
We are excited about the opportunities ahead and grateful for the support of our donors, partners, and supporters who make our work possible. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and youth across Africa, creating brighter futures for generations to come.

Direct beneficiaries per year: Last year, the International Fund for Development and Modernization of Angola (IFDMA) directly assisted 33 children by covering their annual school fees and academic expenses. These children, coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, were granted the opportunity to pursue their education without the financial burden that often prevents access to quality schooling. By alleviating the financial strain on these families, IFDMA enabled these children to attend school regularly, access necessary learning materials, and participate fully in educational activities. Through our scholarship program, these 33 children were able to continue their academic journeys, laying the foundation for a brighter future and breaking the cycle of poverty in their communities. By investing in their education, IFDMA provided them with the tools and resources they need to succeed academically, pursue their dreams, and contribute positively to society. The impact of our assistance goes beyond the academic realm.
