Fondazione Harambee Africa International Ets

The Harambee Africa International ETS Foundation is headquartered in Rome and was established in 2002. Harambee aims to enhance the potential of various realities in Sub-Saharan Africa through two main lines of action: 1. Strengthening the capabilities of local human resources by supporting African entities in the implementation of projects in the sectors of basic education, vocational training, academic and entrepreneurial training; 2. Deepening the understanding of Africa to overcome stereotypes and contribute to a culture of coexistence and complementarity. A vision that is too often myopic of Africa does not help to grasp the great changes taking place where, despite some extreme challenges, the highest growth rates in the world are recorded. A continent made up of over fifty states, each with its own specificities, but where a middle class is rapidly consolidating and where vigorous youth dynamism (60% of the population is under 35 years old) faces daily institutional, infrastructural, and technical skill limitations relative to market needs. In this perspective, in Africa, Harambee supports, through the collection of private funds, local institutions that work with professionalism and experience to ensure personalized attention with the goal of transferring skills and, at the same time, offering individuals the tools to take responsibility for themselves, the ability to make decisions, and to plan their own future. We promote stable and lasting development through the building of authentic and positive relationships. Our goal is to create an inclusive community where everyone can feel valued and complementary.
