Why U.S. Donors Are Investing in African Education

For Americans who want to make a real, lasting difference globally, few investments offer more impact than education in Africa. And today, U.S.-based donors are stepping up to support the future of African innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

At the Academic City Foundation, we provide an accessible, trusted way for individuals, families, and institutions in the United States to donate to African education from the US with transparency, measurable outcomes, and powerful stories of transformation.

Why Education in Africa Needs U.S. Support

• Africa has the world’s youngest population and its future depends on quality education.

• Millions of talented youth are unable to access STEAM education due to financial barriers.

• Entrepreneurship education in Africa fuels job creation and economic independence.

• US-based philanthropy for African youth ensures a more equitable, globally connected future.
