Empowering Rural Communities across Africa through the Transformative power of Art, Culture, Health, Education, and Sustainable development.
DonateWho We Are
The Belinga Foundation began 25 years ago as a simple idea: "Let’s change the world".
Over the years, this vision evolved into a focused mission—Rural Durable Development through multiplying factors. Our work is built on five key pillars: Art, Culture, Health, Education, and Sustainable Development — the essential foundations of any thriving civilization.
Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. By working closely with local partners, government officials, and traditional authorities, we amplify our impact. After all, beyond time, human effort and investment remain the most powerful multiplying factors in driving lasting change.
The dream became a reality in 2018. Based in the USA, the foundation operates both in the United States and across Africa, supported by over 100 volunteers, and has positively impacted more than 5 million lives.
"We are on a mission to help Rural Communities to unlock their potential so that they could become doctors, engineers, professional athletes or industrialists."
The Five Pillars of Our Actions
1. Art
The Foundation supports local artists by providing them opportunities to showcase their talents and earn a living.
2. Culture
We are committed to preserving culture by honoring and uplifting it through meaningful celebrations and initiatives.
3. Health
We take an innovative approach to healthcare in villages by blending the strengths of modern medicine with the wisdom of traditional (herbal) medicine.
4. Education
Our mission is to promote excellence because today’s students are tomorrow’s teachers. With each generation, we are shaping future leaders who will rise from within our own communities.
5. Sustainable Development
The Belinga Foundation champions Sustainable Development by fostering agriculture and the vast network of economic activities connected to it, both vertically and horizontally.
We drive positive change by inspiring and supporting communities.
