With safe, prosperous, stable, self-developing communities, resilient to all existing and emerging global challenges;
Where particularly the youth find opportunity and hope to strive for long and happy lives at sustainable standards of living;[/vcex_icon_box]
Mainly through volunteerism, we help them to achieve independence, by drawing from their own motivations and efforts
So let us build the people and they will build their institutions “[/vcex_icon_box]
AfC was created with a “raison d’etre” to build a model of enablement and upliftment of people (teaching to fish – men, women, youth and poor) instead of patronising them by handouts (giving them fish)…. AfC brings with a strong and unique core belief and commitment that communities must in the main, find and adopt self-development mechanisms and while working with government and other institutions, must not wait on them.
