AFRICA FOUNDATION FOR LITERACY AND

INNOVATION  (AFLIN)

MISSION STATEMENT

AFLIN provides the opportunity for underprivileged, and poor Africans to

receive a quality education. AFLIN prepares its students for an economically free life, thereby giving them the ability to remove

themselves from poverty and be entrepreneurially self dependent. This is accomplished through the provision of

schools and centers, for both adults and children, where the students are educated

on the power of being literate.

The Faculty and Students

Day 1:Nine students attended The opening

ceremony of the school in Yola, Adamawa State Nigeria.

Day 2: Twenty-one more students joined

the school in Yola.

Day 3: Over a hundred students attend

English class.

Over a hundred students, ages 9 to 21, attend class toady and are taught in the

same classrooms.

Students are encouraged to participate in speaking seminars

Unable to leave their children at home alone, adults bring their children to

classes.

Many adults in Africa, especially women, are unable to attend school due to lack of resources and lack of encouragement from their families. With AFLIN women and children

are encouraged to go to school and learn to be self-reliant in society.

Mark Henry Joel, president of AFLIN, teaches the adult class.

Women and men of all ages are and all cultures attend the afternoon class

in Yola.

Adults are taught how to read and write in English.

Teachers volunteer their free time to teach the students how to read

and write.

Adults unable to leave their children at home alone, are allowed to bring their

children to classes.
