Mission Statement
Poverty has many layers.
The most basic involves those things
which sustain life - food, water, and clothing. However, there is
a need which is just as essential as those just mentioned - the desire and the thirst for knowledge. The main objective of Project Educate Africa, Inc. is to help alleviate this thirst for the people of Nigeria.
To be illiterate is to be cut off from yourself and the world community. It is to live a half-life mired in frustration and unfulfilled human potential. Project Educate Africa Inc. will, by way of books and other educational resources, play its part in the transformation and empowerment of the people of Nigeria.
