Welcome to Afri-CAN EduFund
This is initiative was birthed during the heart of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Millions of people lost their jobs and households were under severe strain. Poorer communities like Eldorado Park where unemployment is already at record levels were badly impacted by the pandemic.
Reagan Mitchell, the founder, was inspired to make a difference in the community he grew up in. A group of like-minded individuals also from Eldorado Park joined forces with him to fund the launch of the fund that year. These individuals experienced first-hand the benefits of education and community support. Together we can give hope to our children, inspire confidence and connect them to life-changing opportunities.
