In just 20 years, Africa University has earned an enviable reputation in African higher education. Known for ground-breaking work that addresses Africa’s vital needs, the university is set apart by its values, relevance and impact. Africa University now stands poised to expand its reach and realize the fullness of its vision. The Endowment Campaign is an opportunity to participate in defi ning how Africa University will help to shape the future of the continent. Every gift you make to the endowment translates into changed lives and communities. With your help, Africa University can invest:
· $25 million to fund scholarships and fi nancial aid; · $18 million to fund program initiatives, faculty chairs, and
research; · $7 million to fund technology and facility improvements.
Why Invest Now?
Africa’s development prospects have never been brighter. Seven of the world’s 10 fastest-growing national economies are in Africa and, with 20 percent of the population between age 15 and 24, it is the world’s youngest continent. Growth is improving living standards and putting Africa on the cusp of sustainable, new development. Appropriate investments in education are crucial to helping African nations exploit this “tipping point.” Your gift to the endowment enables Africa University to be an extraordinary catalyst for positive change in sub-Saharan Africa. It helps the university enroll more students, fund programs, and put in place infrastructure to serve current and future generations.
A New Future
Many of Africa University’s alumni come from homes where they are fi rst-generation college graduates. Currently, the university has more than 4,000 graduates. Many are serving in key leadership roles continent-wide. Your investment today will ensure an open door to life changing skills for thousands more, and directly affect Africa’s future.
