Our Story

Who 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.
