This is in line with Africa College Fund's mission of supporting non-profit, tax-exempt organisations that have a focus on creating financial sustainability, to ensure long term success. Grants also include scholarship support for girls in the Maharishi Invincibility School of Management, as well as establishing the organisation with a new University college in Zambia, Cybersecurity program in Brazil, and establishing a sister grant making organisation in the UK.
