What we Do
Bridge Project
USACF's "Bridge Pi" based digital library brings digital books, math videos, instructional tools, and more to under- resourced schools in 5 African countries. Our newest initiatives in Sierra Leone and Nigeria are already reaching hundreds of students and teachers.
Learning Center in Sierra Leone
The We Yone ("Our Own") Learning Centre - our most ambitious project yet!
Sports Programs
The international language of sports can remove barriers and develop a child's sense of well being. USACF has worked hard to increase sports programs in all of its partner countries.
Sister School Program
Like a "pen-pal", two schools, one from Africa and one from the US, are paired. Students and teachers make friendships and learn more about other countries, life-styles and more!
Service Trips
Every summer, USACF brings 15 volunteers to South Africa and Zimbabwe to see some of the wonders of Africa and work in a schools. Volunteers can teach a subject close to their heart, reorganize a library or fix a broken desk.
School Presentations
We help raise the awareness of American students to the challenges of getting an education in Africa. Our school presentations help children to become part of the global community and to be agents of its change.

The homepage for the Bridge Pi digital library is easily customizable. We deployed this digital library at a secondary school in a remote area of Tanzania.
Bridge Project Spotlight
At the heart of each Bridge Project Learning Center is a “Bridge Pi” – a portable, low-cost, high quality, solar powered digital library. Each Bridge Pi device creates a wifi hotspot giving 30+ devices unlimited, free access to a wealth of materials saved on the Bridge Pi’s digital library. Any wifi enabled device (including tablets, PC’s, and phones) can connect in seconds.
