About Blog / Forum
Education is truly one of the most powerful ways to change the world.  The sharing of information and discussion of ideas has helped to change perspectives, decisions and outcomes of events.

It was Edward Bulwer-Lytton who penned these now famous words: "The pen is mightier than the sword" - attesting to the power of words in effecting change.
​
This blog and forum were set up to do that - provide a platform or place where we can learn and discuss different topics related to development in Africa and the world in general.  We warmly invite you to participate by submitting articles, adding comments, contributing to forum discussions etc.

About Develop Africa

Empowering lives in Africa so that they can better themselves, their communities and their nations

Develop Africa is a 501c3 non-profit organization working to establish meaningful and sustainable development in Africa.  Develop Africa was birthed out of the vision that human resource development is the key to improving nation building capacity in Africa.  Develop Africa is involved in a range of programs in Africa supporting education, microfinance and small businesses, job skills / leadership development training etc.

Through training, scholarship, investment and partnerships Develop Africa is helping to develop Africa’s people through the promotion of transformational education, resource development, investment training and strategic empowerment. Our premise is based on the notion that in order to change one’s personal, national or organizational status there must necessarily be a “change in the thinking and processing pattern of the mind.” 

We envision an African continent fully developed in terms of its human and resource capacity, free from poverty; ignorance, and civil conflict and where the poorest and most vulnerable people become “leaders” and effectively manage their national resources.

We are involved in the following targeted activities:

• care for orphans
• job skills training
• microfinance / micro-lending and small business training
• scholarships
• books, school and teaching supplies
• basic computer training and computers
• mosquito nets, vitamin supplements, start up tool kits (such as sewing machines), school uniforms, Personal Protective Equipment for health workers etc.
