Hello and welcome to the All for Africa College Club Blog!
My name is Nana Debrah-Karikari and I am the National President for the All for Africa College Club. I am really excited about All for Africa’s initiative to partner with universities and colleges on fundraising and educational efforts. I firmly believe that these partnerships will not only go a long way in promoting long-term sustainable change and growth on the African continent, but will be beneficial and rewarding for all parties involved. The mission of the All for Africa College Club is to bring together students, faculty and staff in universities across the United States, to support sustainable development projects and programs in Africa, in conjunction with All for Africa. In addition, the All for Africa College Club seeks to promote awareness and develop educational programming about the continent on college campuses.
I am currently a college student, and the All for Africa College Club gives students such as ourselves, a wonderful opportunity to have sustainable positive impact on a project, community, and/or program of our choice. As an African, I believe that Africa’s development must be driven by Africans with help from allies from around the world. All for Africa as an organization, and by extension the All for Africa College Club is committed to helping Africans help themselves. Start an All for Africa College Club at your college or university!
The All for Africa College Club Blog is intended to be a medium for exchange of ideas, updates, and events. In addition, All for Africa will publicize all All for Africa College Club events on our calendar and highlight said events on our website. We at All for Africa look forward to hearing from you and to reading your posts!

Hello Nana,
I think your idea is great. Visit my website to see if maybe we can work together. We are a new organization desiring to assist Africans and those from the Caribbean with obtaining a college eduction here in America. I would love to hear your thoughts as well as other Africans who are currently enrolled in American colleges and universities. If you have any questions you may contact me at newseasonsyouthprogram.com or via our website.
