"Chance for Africa" is a program designed to help African children so that they can go to school. African schools are not 100% free. Many poor families struggle to pay for enrollment fees, books, uniforms, meals, etc. In Africa, finishing High School can mean the difference between success and desperate poverty.
“Chance for Africa” provides the opportunity to those of us who have been blessed financially, to help an African family to pay for these fees so their kids can get an education and change the course of their future .
Jesus said: Whatever you do for the least of these, you do it for me. Matt 25:40
