Awake and Alive, Inc. Information

Awake and Alive’s mission is to move individuals and communities from complacency to vibrancy, replacing a routine existence for a passionate and meaningful one in which people look beyond themselves to assist the poor, distressed, and underprivileged in the world around them. We accomplish this through three unique components: 1) to advocate for Africans locally by building relationships and easing the burden that often comes with a new culture 2) to assist existing organizations in Africa that are already making a difference in the lives of the poor and marginalized 3) to rouse Christians through education and experience, inspiring them to go beyond themselves. Our first big project is Bright Future Academy, a kindergarten for 30 of the most vulnerable children in the slum of Kechene and is beginning in September 2012.
