Civic & Social Organization - Seattle, Washington, United States
Deekels Foundation is a social enterprise organization supported by Africans and Friends of Africa. Our vision is to recreate the future of Africa by empowering the African youth with the right skill-sets. This we do through a variety of initiatives. Our three main focal points are empowerment through education, community building and leadership development.Empowerment through Education- Improving access to Education and Grooming Africa's IntellectualsCommunity Building- Grassroots Engagement and Impact on Disadvantaged CommunitiesLeadership Development- Raising the bar on ethical and vision-driven leadershipAt Deekels Foundation, we are on a journey to recreate Africa's future. We are redefining the true African dream and investing disproportionately in people to achieve that dream. Our vision for Africa is one of a self-sufficient continent with ethical leaders who optimize the utilization of our natural and human resources for the benefit of society. We have started this journey with baby steps- little initiatives that address pressing societal needs especially among disadvantaged subsets of the greater population. However, it is our desire to scale fast and fill up the leadership pipeline for the future. Join us on this journey!
