The Future of Africa goes through Culture and Exchanges
About us
OUR VISION
We are a non-profit organization which aims to provide new answers to serious universal issues such as poverty in Africa, illegal immigration, religious extremism... and the "Black Lives Matter" issue that impacts all Western countries to varying degrees.
Our ambition is to embody a new hope by working to redeem Africa to the eyes of those who love it but think of leaving it and to the eyes of those who have left and do not know how to return.
We want to help people who live in Africa to fulfill their dreams which are generally speaking not to go and live abroad but to build a strong and supportive Africa. And we believe that culture can be a real entry towards a solution.
Indeed, Africa's economic poverty goes hand in hand with the scarcity of the accessible cultural offer. Thus, we are convinced that helpig people to value their territory and create wealth locally will be a way to combat illegal immigration in a way that is far more effective than any coercive laws.
Besides, an economically more dynamic Africa is the key to change the way black people are looked upon around the world.
GIVE A CHILD A BOOK TO OPEN NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM...
Black lives will really matter when Africa itself really matters!
OUR MISSION
Our idea is to create a network of multimedia libraries through Africa to provide people not only with free books and multimedia resources, but also with a place where people can gather, help one another, exchange ideas, innovate and make the life they've been dreaming about come true.
We want to :
- make education and culture accessible to all,
- reinvigorate African arts and crafts,
- boost and expand the local webs of social collaboration, and much more.
FACE is a unique organization of its kind because its success depends on the involvement of each of its beneficiaries who do not receive its help passively, but eventually become skillfull resources for one another.
Thus, FACE goes beyond the usual pyramidal structure of an organization that brings help to passive beneficiaries, to that of a horizontal structure of co-workers, more akin to a hive, in which each member collaborates and plays a decisive role for the whole structure.
