Mission Statement

Austria for Africa is a Non Government Organization based in Austria.

Austria for Africa is a non-partisan, humanist movement and does not belong to any church or religious sect.

Austria for Africa’s mission is to assist long lasting African self determination through economic growth in Africa, irrespective of race, gender, tribal or political allegiances, within the spirit of the charter of the United Nations.

We believe Africans should run Africa and we will support this through providing and facilitating improved education and supporting sustainable economic projects

Austria for Africa’s projects will include:
• The protection of the environment through minimal pollutants
• Equal opportunities for all and equal access to resources. To achieve this goal, women will be in particular supported to further their self determining role in society
• Facilitation of self determination through provision of education and diverse economic projects

Through the implementation of Austria for Africa’s economic projects we will assist the realization of the United Nations Millennium Goals

Austria for Africa will hold the needs of Africans uppermost in its planning and continually work closely together with African communities to ensure common ownership and the needs of local communities are met

To fulfill Austria for Africa’s mission, we will initially prioritize:
• the provision of educational projects which focus on the acquisition of business and life skills suitable for a modern economy and society;
• the supporting of small sustainable businesses through micro credit schemes;

Austria for Africa will give financial assistance to the building of schools, school communities and small and medium enterprises to fulfill these aims

Austria for Africa will be professionally managed with continual evaluations, assessments and transparency to ensure that contracts are legitimately executed

Austria for Africa will assess its effectiveness continually and adjust targets and strategies where appropriate and according to developing trends and local long term needs and circumstances

Austria for Africa is the beginning of a holistic, humanistic movement to help open the hearts and minds not only across the continent of Africa, but also a gateway to Global solidarity.
