ABOUT US
Who We Are
The Rural Africa Empowerment Foundation (RAEF) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit

education, and opportunities for women and children are fundamental human rights that
pave the way for sustainable development and a brighter future.

Why We Exist
Over 600 million people in Africa lack access to clean water, and 1 in 3 children in rural areas miss school due to poverty or illness. Women and girls often bear the heaviest burden, walking miles for water or sacrificing education to support families. We exist to rewrite this story.
