Field Base In Nigeria:

Africans In America Foundation (AIAF) Nigeria is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, Abuja, Nigeria and is in the process of opening its operational base in the hinterland/rural areas.

When fully operational, Africans In America Foundation, Nigeria, will promote public awareness on social issues, accessible justice and empowerment through direct social support services, research, legislative advocacy, demonstration programs and publications, building strategic partnership with government and civil society.

Our vision for African operation is very unique. Quite unlike others organizations located in mostly big cities doing only policy advocacies; our operation will also be located inside the rural villages and hamlets.

Another unique aspect of our African program is that the local natives who are versed on the issues, the terrain, the cues and nuances will be trained to lead the operation.

These enable us to connect all the segments of the society in the harder to reach areas that remain largely un-reached and un-served.
