Afro Fadderforening is a Norwegian based organisation, reaching our 25th Anniversary in 2023. Our ongoing goal is the eradication of poverty in African countries, focusing mainly on education in rural areas.
Microfinance is one of the systems we use wherever possible and is functioning well in Ethiopia and Uganda. Run by volunteers, the organisation employs locals from villages and towns throughout Africa.
We plan on fundraising this year in the hope of reaching 250 000 kr to enable us to build infrastructure for water supply, solar power and machinary for the farming projects.
Any contribution is gratefully appreciated and WILL make a difference.
We focus on farming and invest in the purchase of animals and plantations throughout Africa.
Many students have graduated from university in Ethiopia.
We have built teacher's accommodation , a library, a computer room and buildings supplied by solar power plants.
We strive to upgrade schools lacking infrastructure. We focus on higher education and are proud of our students who have graduated from college or university. Our structured process engages parents in various projects, where they are able to support themselves. In addition to agriculture, we invest in water installations and renewable energy supply.
It was lovely to be back in Uganda and a pleasure to see friends and students. It was nice to see our senior students who do a brilliant job in nursing. One of our top students, Fortunate, who is studying to be a medical assistant - later to be a doctor! New building structures are being made for poultry farming. The farm provides work for a number of people and we have been able to employ some of our students.
We also spent some time at Imara Farm Lodge-Fort Portal and met with our large leadership team that consist of 35 ladies talking to some Norwegian students about projects.
