WHO WE ARE - Sayap Africa

Working Towards a Brighter Future

Our Vision

SAYAP AFRICA believes in the power of collective actions that create a pragmatic impact in the rebuilding and assistance of communities in Africa resulting in a long-lasting change and prosperity.

Our Mission

Sayap Africa is a 501(C) (3) non profit organization whose mission is to empower local communities in Africa to solve multi-sectoral problems with impactful and sustainable solutions that change lives. We focus on the following sectors, Education, Health, Economic development, clean water and energy, gender equality and women rights, youth training and private sector investment, art and culture, protection of the environment and sustainable agriculture, High tech and Science for girls.

Our Commitment

SAYAP AFRICA is committed to making the strategic investment with the right partnership, good wills, philanthropists, and donors who are touched by unique stories of African people and the wellbeing of their communities. From Girls education in science and Technology, to drinking water, medical supplies to rural and urban medical centers as well as fighting the hunger and reducing youth unemployment through a practical training in private sectors to name the few.

Our Community

SAYAP AFRICA is a nonprofit organization with a diverse group of skilled volunteers. At Sayap Africa, we rely entirely on the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations to carry out its mission successfully in Africa.

Accountability and Transparency

Sayap Africa headquarters are in California with many focal points throughout Africa. We are committed to meeting international standards of quality and accountability. Guided by our rights-based approach principles, we focus on ensuring that our partners and the communities we serve have a voice in the planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating our work in Africa. Given the vulnerability of disaster-affected populations, we stress out a specific emphasis on integrating humanitarian accountability standards in Sayap Africa relief and emergency response work as well as our training and long-term intervention in Africa.

We are putting in place a Sayap Africa program information and impact reporting system monitors the extent of which we will be making progress to achieve our global impact goals, and our organization data will be published.

Being accountable to our stakeholders means ensuring that we share information in a transparent way, or we will be unable to satisfy any information request, or just providing an explanation. Sayap Africa pledges to post substantial amount of information on the internet, including strategic plans, annual reports, advocacy policy reports, programs and project reports, research reports, external evaluations and media release.

We also have information that must remain confidential due to the disclosure policy, the practical legal, operational, safety and security considerations. The privacy and data protections regulations will be respected even where they are not mandated.

Ms. Dan-Reina Bravo Aquino MSCIS
IT Director

Dan was born in the Philippines and emigrated to the United States in 2000. She is the middle child and only girl of 3, and a mother of 2 beautiful girls. She lives in Mountain View, CA and an entrepreneur and IT professional. She holds a Masters degree in Computer Information Systems from Boston University and got her Bachelors of Science degree in Computer Science in the University of the Philippines, Los Baños. She taught Computer Science courses in the University of the Philippines, worked as a Software Engineer in Software companies, became a business owner of Restaurants and Supermarkets, became a Senior Business Systems Analyst and Assistant Vice President at Bank of America, and now a CEO of Bravo Site Solutions and a CTO of iRebyu.

She decided to join Sayap Africa because ever since she was only 7 years old, God touched her heart to help and change people’s lives in Africa. At that age, she wanted to become a missionary doctor, because she thought that that is the only way she can go to help and make a difference in Africa. But, God had a different plan in her life. He directed her on a different path, to become an IT Professional, so she can be a blessing by using her talents, skills, experiences, and backgrounds to help and make a difference to communities in 54 countries in Africa through Sayap Africa.
