My Nonprofit Reviews

I lived in Africa for ten years, working for the humanitarian sector. I have therefore an important knowledge of which organization will be successful at helping the people in need in Africa. Some think it's all about ensuring a good flow of funds but it is a lot more than that. It requires a complete and complex understanding of the culture, the system, the people, and the realities there. I give you an example. When I lived in Africa I saw many Western organizations funding wells. Everybody was happy, finally the village had water... Pity that 6 months or a year after the closing of the project, the well broke down. Since the non-profit organization had left by then (and the village didn't have any parts to repair the well) the village was left with no water again. I have seen this happening so many times. That's why I cannot emphasize enough the importance of choosing the right organization when wanting to help Africa.

And that's exactly why I decided to get involved with AOEF. It has the perfect understanding of what needs to be put in place to ensure the success of its projects.

Also, AOEF is led by a group of people who are truly devoted to make a difference in Africa by helping orphans getting an education, a meal, a normal life. It's their life mission and it's mine too.
