We are pleased to announce that we have been blessed with a new partner – Develop Africa (http://www.developafica.org)

Develop Africa (DA) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, non-governmental (NGO) organization founded with the aim of facilitating meaningful and sustainable development in Africa.  Develop Africa  is headquartered in Tennessee, USA.  Their focus is on impacting and changing lives.

DA says:

Through training, scholarship, investment and partnerships Develop Africa is committed to developing Africa’s people through the promotion of transformational education, resource development, investment training and strategic empowerment. Our premise is based on the notion that in order to change one’s personal, national or organizational status there must necessarily be a “change in the thinking and processing pattern of the mind.
