Foundation For Africa, Hungary

Qui sommes-nous

The Foundation for Africa is a public benefit organisation for development and aid created by a civil initiative. It was first registered in Hungary in 2002 and later in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2004.

The aim of the Foundation for Africa is mainly to facilitate development, aid and the forming of civil society through providing help in the fields of education, society and health care in Africa and organizing cultural programs and lectures to introduce the continent to Hungary.

The Foundation for Africa focuses on education, social issues and health care in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the capital, Kinshasa it maintains the Othniel Grammar and Secondary (High) School and the La Providence Orphanage.

The Foundation also provides medicine, surgical instruments for several health care centers both in the capital and in the country and carries out development programs as well.
