African Millennium Foundation (AMF) is a strategic non-profit and non-governmental organization committed to the social and economic empowerment of the people of Africa, especially women. AMF seeks to target poverty, hunger and disease at its very root by providing African women and children with the necessary tools for achieving self-sufficiency. Through grants to grassroots organizations, volunteer service, advocacy and education, AMF fosters civil society and sustainable development through implementation of microcredit programs and others that fuel community development, thus helping people help themselves.

Microcredit gives you a glimpse of another Africa, an Africa of progress and success – of people overcoming their struggles. This Africa is shown but by the faces of courage and opportunity. AMF with your support is making it happen.

“Unleashing of energy and creativity in each human being is the answer to poverty.”
