African Literacy Foundation – Providing Solutions to the Challenges Surrounding Rural Africa
The African Literacy Foundation (ALF) was born from a deep passion for education, community empowerment, and equitable healthcare. Founded in 2007 by Peace and Emeka Eziakonwa, ALF has grown into a force for change, bridging gaps in literacy, healthcare, and community support for underserved populations across Africa.
For Emeka, philanthropy has always been a way of life. Growing up, he watched his mother, a devoted philanthropist, keep her gates and arms open to all, offering kindness and support to those in need. Her selflessness inspired his deep commitment to giving back, shaping his vision for ALF. With an MBA in Business Administration from the University of South Florida, Emeka brings strategic leadership and a drive to create lasting impact.
Peace’s journey is equally inspiring. With a BA in English Language and a career transition from nursing to philanthropy, she found her true calling in empowering communities through education and healthcare. After moving from Nigeria to the U.S., she embraced her passion for giving back, ensuring that underserved communities receive the opportunities and care they deserve.
Together, they built ALF as a beacon of hope, ensuring that education, healthcare, and community support are not privileges but fundamental rights accessible to all.
