Frequently Asked Questions

Donations are made by bank transfer to the Foundation’s account, which is published on the Donate page. Online card and transfer payments are being set up and will appear on that page once they are live. The Foundation does not store card details; where an online payment provider is used, payment is processed securely by that provider.

All donations are managed transparently and are used to support approved Foundation programmes. Every donation is recorded and acknowledged, and impact and financial reports are made available to donors and partners under our Financial Accountability Policy and Donation Policy. If you would like your gift directed to a particular programme, tell us and we will make sure it is.

Start on the Volunteer page and send us a volunteer enquiry telling us what you would like to contribute and where you are based. Volunteers serve in community outreach, medical and health outreaches, media and photography, content and communications, event support, logistics and operations, youth mentoring, and education and tutoring.

All volunteers agree to our Volunteer Policy and, where a role involves contact with children, our Child Protection Policy and Safeguarding Policy. All three are published in full on this website. Students and early-career professionals may also want to look at Internship Opportunities.

Submit a partnership enquiry through the Become a Partner page, or get in touch through Contact. We welcome collaborations with businesses, NGOs, educational institutions, healthcare organisations, faith-based organisations, development agencies and community groups.

Partnerships run across education, healthcare, community development, corporate social responsibility, skills development, youth empowerment, humanitarian relief, research and innovation, and media and advocacy. Companies looking for a structured arrangement should read Corporate Partnership. Every corporate partnership is documented — what was funded, which communities were reached, and what was delivered — so partners can account for their contribution internally and publicly.

Yes. Individuals, businesses and organisations may sponsor specific programmes, projects or community interventions. You can sponsor a child’s education for a school year, maternal care and newborn essentials for a mother, a place on an AADA digital skills course, a vocational training place, a community health outreach, or a food distribution or relief round. Sponsor a Project sets out the options.

Costs differ by programme and are confirmed when you enquire. Sponsorships are acknowledged and reported: you will be told what your sponsorship funded and what it achieved. Where a sponsorship involves a child, sponsors do not receive the child’s personal contact details, and identifying images or stories are published only where appropriate consent has been given by a parent, guardian, school or authorised caregiver.

The Achebe Africa Digital Academy is the Foundation’s flagship initiative. It tackles unemployment at its root by equipping Africans with practical digital skills, mentorship, entrepreneurship support and pathways to meaningful employment. Its twenty courses span digital marketing, content writing and copywriting, social media management, graphic design, brand strategy, video editing, web design, UI/UX design, artificial intelligence, data analysis, virtual assistance, cybersecurity, software development, digital entrepreneurship, business development, personal branding, sales and marketing, financial literacy, leadership development, and productivity and career skills.

AADA is for students, graduates, job seekers, entrepreneurs, business owners, freelancers, professionals, career changers, content creators, small business owners and corporate teams — anyone ready to build in-demand digital skills. Scholarships are available, funded through Foundation sponsorships, corporate partnerships, donor support, community initiatives and special educational programmes.

Achebe Campus is the official digital learning and community platform of Achebe Hope Foundation. AADA learners join their course communities there, where they connect, collaborate, ask questions, share ideas and learn together.

Achebe Campus also enables educators, creators, businesses, churches, organisations and community leaders to build and manage their own learning communities. Members access videos, live classes, PDFs, discussions, assignments, announcements, events and other learning resources within one platform. Join Our Community explains what membership includes.

Our programmes are designed to support women, children, young people, vulnerable families, and underserved communities across Africa.

They work on two timescales at once: humanitarian response for what is urgent, and education, skills and enterprise for what is lasting. They cover community development, education, maternal and child care, single parents support, women and girls empowerment, youth empowerment, orphanage support, community health outreach, food and humanitarian relief, skills development, and the Annual Cook Day. Each has its own page under Our Programmes explaining what it does, who it serves, and how to support or join it.
