WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Nkhangfi Foundation

Founded in 2018, the Nkhangfi Foundation emerged from the vision of empowering vulnerable and impoverished African youths through education. It all began with the Nkhangfi Scholarship Program, an initiative designed to provide educational opportunities to students from various countries across Africa. Through full and partial scholarships, deserving students were enabled to continue their studies, breaking barriers that limited their potential
The foundational moment for the Nkhangfi Foundation occurred during a scholarship program held in Sierra Leone in 2020. It was here that the founders recognized the need to address not only the educational deficits but also the broader challenges affecting African communities. Thus, the Nkhangfi Foundation was born, with a multifaceted approach aimed at holistic empowerment. Beyond scholarships, the foundation endeavors to tackle pressing issues such as refugee support, vocational training, gender equality initiatives, girl child support, and protection. Moreover, recognizing the importance of health education, the foundation champions initiatives addressing HIV/AIDS awareness, as well as education against illicit drugs and the dangers of illegal immigration.
In 2022, the Nkhangfi Foundation expanded its scope further by introducing the Nkhangfi Model United Nations. This innovative program serves as a platform to prepare African youths for future leadership roles as diplomats. By engaging in diplomatic simulations and fostering critical thinking, negotiation skills, and cultural understanding, participants are equipped to navigate complex global issues and advocate for Africa's interests on the international stage. The Nkhangfi Foundation's journey embodies a commitment to education as the cornerstone of empowerment. Through its diverse programs and initiatives, it seeks to uplift African youths, nurture leadership potential, and catalyze positive change within communities across the continent. As it continues to evolve and expand its reach, the foundation remains dedicated to the belief that education is the most powerful tool for transforming lives and shaping a brighter future for Africa.
