Our work is valuable ...
When we look at the world
today, we are struck by widespread fear and unhappiness;
conditions that can often be linked to misunderstanding,
intolerance and abuses of basic human rights. Whatever
part of Africa you are from, much of the discord and
violence can be traced to intolerance and abuse of basic
human rights.
Through the success of the
International and European Foundations reaching millions
of citizens in dozens of countries with this message,
the intention of the Africa foundation is to create,
with that track record, a similar discourse in Africa
for understanding and communication of basic human rights
and dignity, as well as to achieve effective results.
By increasing levels of awareness,
tolerance and understanding amongst Africans, and exposing
and thereby reducing the harmful effects of abusive
activities, the foundation is directly addressing the
source of so much unhappiness. The value of such a sky-high
goal is incalculable.
