Foundation for Africa

Foundation for Africa is a Hungarian public benefit organization for development and aid created by a civil initiative.

[5] Most countries in Africa are torn by an irrational level of poverty, numerous diseases and incessant violence, which has moved us to act and provide assistance in an organized way.

The primary objective and guiding principle is to provide the African people with theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of education, health and social services, something they can apply in their everyday life and activities and employ alone in the future without external help.

The temporary and ad hoc relief activities can increase a country's dependence on external assistance and strengthen the people's belief that they are unable to find their own footing.

Therefore, the projects of the Foundation for Africa aim at a deep and sustainable process of change where the recipients are active participants, not only passive actors or "objects".

The main goal of these travels not just the resting but also to introduce the black continent's beauties and the daily life of Africa.

The high rate of mortality caused not only wars, but in many cases rather a lack of medical care, which increases the spread of diseases.

In smaller towns the foundation organizes meetings, health days, surgery hours, and other condition surveys with any topic, e.g.: agricultural education.

The foundation with UNDP could to forward to the hundreds thousands of women who have been sexually abused and who wants to prevent the unwanted pregnancy.

In 2008-2009, the foundation sent to eastern Congo 1,000 tons of food, clothing, medical supplies, and started a catering program in Muganga's refugee camps where 1200 children live.

The foundation donated medicines, drugs, emergency equipment for more than five health centers and hospitals, which are located in rural areas and in the capital.
