Guided by our mission statement, purposes and vision, AKF seeks to focus on the following programs:
-
Collection and Free Distribution of Books
Collection and free distribution of fairly used or unsold stocks of books, computers, science laboratory equipment, apparatus, to needy public schools and communities. To this end, we have commenced intensive appeal to universities, community colleges, libraries and publishing firms for book donations. A large quantity of books, capable of filling 20' by 20' container have, so far, been received.

Provision of Central Science Laboratories
Facilitate Installation of Well Equipped of Central Science Labs/Experiment Centers and Technical Workshops, including Computers, to serve surrounding schools.
-
Educational Exchange Programs - between teachers, pupils/students and educational planners and administrators in developing countries and their counterparts in the developed world. This is to particularly expose participants to what obtain and work elsewhere, possible of areas of need, assistance, emulation, cooperation and collaboration.
-
Special Events and Researches, including Workshops, Seminars, Symposia, Roundtables, to update teachers, principals and related officials on their relevant areas of need/specialization and to regularly draw the attention of Ministers, lawmakers and even Heads of State to the crucial importance of quality and purpose-driven education in the pursuit of national development goals. AKF intends to publish, periodically, reports and surveys on developments in the education sector worldwide.

Emergency Relief/Crisis to Development Assistance
Here we are to provide and maintain education facilities in camps for refugees, internally displaced persons (s), and similar areas of need, et cetera. Currently, many countries in Africa, still enmeshed in or just emerging from protracted civil wars or similar crisis, are seriously in need of enormous and prolonged assistance to restore their education sectors. Quality education plays a central role in effective transition from crisis to development. We at AKF are preparing to undertake visits to these countries for on-the-spot assessment of the situation and to see what areas we can help. |
