DescAs of January, 2018 USACF has shipped 37 40-foot containers of supplies to more than 570 schools in Zimbabwe, Ghana, Tanzania, Sierra Leone and South Africa. Each container is filled with library books, textbooks, school supplies, art supplies, clothing, sneakers, sports equipment, blackboards, toys, and other needed materials. USACF works hard to involve American students in its work. Through school presentations, American students learn about the difficult lives of their African counterparts and are empowered to take action. More recently, USACF has begun the Bridge Project that provides digital library resources to schools, helping the least resourced schools succeed. With the support of American children and friends, USACF is dramatically changing the educational environment and future of more than 410,000 childrenDesc
