About Us
Vision
SAYAP AFRICA believes in the power of collective actions that create a pragmatic impact in rebuilding and assisting communities in Africa, resulting in long-lasting change and prosperity.
Mission
SAYAP AFRICA is a 501(C) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to empower, assist, and rebuild local communities in more than 10 African countries to solve multi-sectoral problems with impactful and sustainable solutions that change lives.
We focus on the following sectors: education (full literacy, STEM); health (especially that of the mother and child, as well as breast cancer awareness for young African women); economic development with manufacturers and small businesses; clean water and renewable energy; gender equality and women’s rights; youth training; art and culture; protection of the environment and sustainable agriculture to fight famine; and digital literacy for all.
Commitment
SAYAP AFRICA is committed to making strategic investments with the right partnerships, goodwill, and support from philanthropists and donors. We are inspired by the unique stories of African people and the well-being of their communities.
Our initiatives encompass everything from promoting girls’ education in science and technology to providing drinking water and medical supplies in rural and urban medical centers. We are also dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing youth unemployment through practical training in the private sector, among other efforts.
Community
As a nonprofit organization, SAYAP AFRICA has a diverse group of skilled volunteers who are passionate about our mission. We rely entirely on the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations to successfully carry out our missions across Africa.
