AfricAid’s Annual Report

2008 has been a year of exciting growth at AfricAid! Despite plummeting financial markets and the global economic recession, our remarkable supporters have rallied behind AfricAid, allowing us to achieve our most successful fundraising year to date. In the process, you have demonstrated your deep-seated commitment to girls’ education across Africa, joining with us in the belief that education will provide these young women with the opportunity to shape their own lives and the futures of their communities in the ways that they see fit.

This year marks the seventh year of AfricAid’s support for girls’ education in Africa. Over those years, we have seen the young girls we’ve sponsored grow into young women, and have watched as they have graduated and become teachers, nurses, and mothers. Along the way, we have also been able to help several schools build new classrooms and provide their students with textbooks, school supplies, and even access to computers. And we have listened to stories of student attendance increasing dramatically at the rural schools we support, all because the students there are now provided a school lunch and clean water through programs sponsored by AfricAid. We are grateful to all of you, our dedicated supporters, for allowing us to continue – and expand – this important work. We hope you will take a moment to read more about our progress in 2008 in our Annual Report.
