Bright Africa Foundation was founded in 2022 by three University students in Rwanda who recognized that various villages in forgotten rural areas and farming communities were severely struggling with poverty.

BAF works at the critical intersection to provide skills, knowledge, and resources to create sustainable change for women, their families, and the overall community.

At BAF, we give children an opportunity to quality education, daily meals with real nutrition, and opportunities for single mothers to learn and earn money for self-sustainability. We also carry out community discipleship in the regions where we operate.

The majority of our Rwandan staff are former sponsored children from programs just like BAF, who personally experienced the life-transforming effects of being sponsored out of poverty. Many of them have professional experience working for other sponsorship organizations and bring a unique "boots on the ground" perspective to our foundation. They understand firsthand the needs of the community we serve and are passionate about finding solutions to the needs of the people in poverty.

Our American staff who operate the 501(c)(3) are volunteers who support our mission and often come to Rwanda to shepherd, visit sponsored children, visualize new growth opportunities, and verify accountability within the foundation. Every dollar and asset is accounted for and maintained in the foundation of Biblical stewardship.
