Welcome to the African International Foundation for Educational Excellence
The African International Foundation for Educational Excellence (AIFEE) is a not-for-profit organization committed to providing educational development in Africa. The Foundation pursues its goals and objectives through: Need-Based Interventions Community Development Service & Outreach Research & Assessment Education & Training Strategic Consultancy
Pens and Paper Present New Opportunities for Students
A student in the "Pre-Unit" or preschool class at Mwicwiri Primary School in Kenya draws pictures with paper and pens donated by Southern Illinois University students who were visiting the school. Small gifts such as these make a huge impact on the lives of young children in Kenya.
Summer Exchange Students Bond with School Children
Student groups spend time playing with the school children, teaching them in class, or enjoying a dance as part of our Summer Program. Throughout the time our American students are in Kenya, both groups learn a lot from each other.
Feeding the Children
On one of our summer exchange trips, Dr. Gitau feeds some schoolchildren.
The Kambi Primary School/Community Library in Progress
Dr Gitau brought a group of college students to work on a school/community library at Kambi. The building is done, but still needs furniture and books.
