It is said by many that West Africa is one of the most troubled places on earth; however, we are seeking to change that perception by building school facilities that are equipped with clean water pumps in these impoverished nations. Into Africa Inc. believes that every individual in our global community has the fundamental right to receive a foundational education as well as clean drinking water. We believe that by making the school facility the center of the community’s healthy water, we can also educate the future generations of these nations, thus strengthening their desire for democracy and their ability to attain it.

From civic and township public works development, to improvements within the education and application of information technologies, Into Africa Inc. will continue to provide new jobs, new opportunities and new hope of change. Each country presents its own set of challenges, complexities and situations; however, with your help, the children of West Africa will be drinking clean water and many of them for the first time. These children will be receiving a quality education that will empower them to play a foundational role in strengthening their community infrastructures, stabilizing their future, and forgoing modern democratic progress in each nation; therefore, building a hope for Africa’s future.

Thousands of children have been orphaned by West Africa’s conflict. According to some estimates, 8000 children were separated from their families or orphaned by the civil unrest. Carol Bellamy, UNICEF’s Executive Director said, “Children should have no part in war.” She added, “The wider problem [is] the complete neglect of a whole generation...” Sociologist Kama Bangura, of the University of Sierra Leone said, “Children will be hardest hit by the gradual collapse of basic services.” With your help, Into Africa Inc. can restore the basic services of education and drinking water in some of the poorest regions of West Africa, including The Gambia, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Benin, Togo, Liberia, Cameroon and Sierra Leone. With your assistance, Into Africa Inc. will continue to provide the important foundation for a brave new Africa and beyond.
