A
letter from the president of the foundation
Chiist
Higher Learning Corporation and its donors will dedicate its
efforts on building Chiist University preparatory schools,
the village of hope projects, scholarships for Chiist University
students, and address the failures of the standard educational
systems to. Additionally we strive to address extreme poverty
in Africa and African communities globally. We encourage african
donors as well as all others who wish to help Africans help
themselves. We address these issues because we believe they
are the biggest barriers that keep people from making the
most of their lives.
For each program we fund, we look for innovative ideas to
fund that will ultimately expand our programs and remove barriers:
we look for new techniques to help farmers in africa grow
more food and earn more money; new methods to help students
learn the relevance of their education to assist their community
development. The role of philanthropy is to support programs
that hopefully will be successful, but if not, we learn from
the failures to develop other processes.
Our motto is “akum diri ubani”
which means that our wealth lies in our communities. Chiist
Higher Learning Corporation is determined to be an instrument
to that end.
