About Us
 


The African Centered Educational Foundation is an International NGO working in the field of educational research and development. Africans from the continent and the Disapora initiated the foundation in 1996. The ACE Foundation currently has offices in Western and Southern Africa and works on projects in the six regions of the African Union.

Philosophy
“ A Global Citizen rooted in his/her own culture”

The ACE Foundation believes that true multicultural education is the key to a brighter tomorrow in the Global Village. Knowledge of one’s history and culture instills pride, unlocks creativity and promotes academic excellence. Once self-knowledge is acquired, it is also important to teach children the truth about other people. School curricula must be designed to produce an international citizen rooted in his/her own culture with open arms reaching out to other members of the human family.

Strategic Vision
“Education for African Renaissance”

A shift of paradigm in African Leadership has sparked a new strategic vision for the continent and the Diaspora. This new vision of Africa can only be viable if the African Youth is imparted with its values and principles at the earliest age. One mission of the ACE Foundation is to develop school curricula and educational programs to accompany the African Renaissance Project and to contribute to its long-term success.





Our Objectives

  • To develop and promote African centered educational programs for students at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels for adoption by authorized schools and universities in all countries of the African Union and the African Diaspora;
