Charity Profile: Agape Foundation



Sometimes large companies can get an undeserved bad reputation.  Big businesses are generally looked at as selfish and opposed to charity, but the reality is very different.  Many large businesses like Microsoft, Seament, and Wal-Mart have owners who donate a significant amount of their money to charity.  There are a variety of charities and causes business owners can choose to support, but many donations go to charities that strive to better education around the world.  If you're interested in donating to an education based charity, you could donate to the profiled charity in this blog post.

Agape Foundation

Education is essential for success and change, that's why so many societies stress the importance of learning on their youngest members.  There's one group in South Africa that's working hard to improve the quality of education for all of the children in their country.  All children, regardless of their background or class status, suffer when they don't receive a good quality education.  But children in the poorest areas of South Africa suffer the most.  There is also still a significant problem with educational gender inequality in the country, male children are for more likely to receive and complete school than females.
These reasons are why the Agape Foundation was formed by a group of women many years ago.  They were aware of the educational problems in South Africa, so they formed Agape in order to inspire, educate, and encourage the youth of the nation.  They work with individuals who don't have the financial needs they require to receive a high quality education.  They believe that with proper education, encouragement, and attention that South Africa can become a better place for all of its citizens.
