The chances are very high that you - the reader of this report / page - finished a basic level of education.  You probably hold and Associates, Bachelor's, Masters or even a PhD degree or equivalent.  Your education has helped to open up doors of opportunity.  It possibly contributed in one way or the other to helping you securing your current job or level of income.  Education can be very valuable.

Have you ever desired to get to know more about the children that we are supporting in Africa?  Well, you are certainly not alone.  As a Project Leader, I love to see the photos of the children and in particular to listen to videos of the children.  This helps me to better understand their needs, desires, and aspirations and to stay connected. 

Featured Story:  Two siblings - Adithya and Samyu - are doing remarkable good and have developed a program called Pencils For Presents.  They, together with their friends and family, are collecting school supplies to send to developing nations, especially those in Africa.

Your donation of a dollar will provide two exercise books / notebooks.

Johnson City, [Tennessee] – Develop Africa, Inc. partnered with the Philanthroper.com to provide school supplies to children in Africa.

Children in Africa are in dire need of school supplies. The average classroom lacks the basic essential school supplies that make for a meaningful educational experience for kids.  Develop Africa is responding to this need and helping to provide school supplies to school children in Africa.
