ATEA Africa is the meeting of friends from different African communities who have decided to act around the common values of sharing, accountability and excellence to contribute to the qualitative transformation of rural African communities . As African-born and Western world educated-people, we are well aware of the challenges African people can face when it comes to fulfil basic needs such as, good education and health, or living in decent environment. We were all exposed to these challenges during our up bringing in different ways.
ATEA Africa is our response to address these challenges sustainably. We are committed to work with the rural communities in Africa to make their life better by increasing access to good quality education and medical services.
