In response to COVID-19, Africa's Tomorrow is prioritizing the well-being of our scholars and planning for life beyond this crisis moment. Please see more on our COVID-19 Response page.

OUR MISSION: ​

​​Furthering higher education and cross-cultural experience to accelerate social change.

Why Women, why undergraduate degrees?
  • UNESCO has cited women's access to higher education as critical to global development success.
  • In 2019, the United Nations said inequality within and among countries is increasing with continuing severe gender inequality, along with a rural/urban split between childhood stunting, adult unemployment, ¼ of people with disabilities having zero support.
  • The economic returns for higher education graduates are the highest in the entire educational system — an estimated 17 percent increase in earnings as compared with 10 percent for primary and 7 percent for secondary education. 
  • While primary and secondary school receive significant philanthropic dollars and graduate degree funding can be found, Africa's Tomorrow fills a gap in the resources for rural African women to earn undergraduate degrees.

RECENT NEWS:

Following the SEVP announcement on July 6th:
We are disappointed to hear that the Trump Administration has created a new barrier for African women's pursuit of higher education by demanding that they, and their American colleges, choose between education at a distance - which protects everyone's health from the COVID pandemic - and staying in the US to continue studies.

We have reached out to our participating colleges, receiving prompt replies and assurances from most that the international teams are on this; they are doing everything possible to comply with the requirements to keep international students on campus and progressing in their studies. We will continue to follow up with each scholar and each institution until we have a firm plan for each of our scholars to move forward in her studies.
June 1, 2020: Our community of support raised over $11,000 in May to support rural African women to go to college! Thank you!
February 16, 2020: Africa's Tomorrow was featured as an Impaction Innovator. Watch the conversation, here.
January 2, 2020: Winter Reunion Meet & Greet - come meet seven Africa's Tomorrow scholars at African Grill and Bar in Lakewood, Colorado. No cost to attend, RSVP here.
