Our Mission
To educate to empower, to empower to educate.
The Unveiling Africa Foundation is a not for profit organization that was established by students from the University of Alberta in 2006. The foundation’s scope and mandate is two fold: on the continent of Africa and in Canada. Our main mandate in Canada is to promote education, debate and dialogue around global issues and topics that concern Africa while also providing tools and resources for individuals in the Diaspora to transform knowledge into action on the ground. We are also focused on fostering multiculturalism and intercultural learning in Canada through cultural symposiums and exhibitions.
On the African continent, we work towards providing and creating access to quality and comprehensive education for African teenagers. Secondarily, we are interested in empowering disenchanted individuals especially African youths through self – employment and micro-loan programs.
More specifically in Nigeria, we are geared towards creating a new Nigeria through the engagement of the Nigerian teenager. We strive for a Nigeria where progressive ideologies and mentalities pertaining to Nigeria’s development prevails. We aim to engage and educate the Nigerian teenager ( 9 – 18 years) with the ultimate goal of creating and nurturing a Nigeria where the upcoming generation have a new & progressive mentality that aids development in the society, where the upcoming generation has the right values and possess the ability to be critical minded, and are aware of their place and responsibility in the society.
