Empowering Youth Through Education

Africa College Foundation (MII U.K.) secures resources for underprivileged youth by providing opportunities for higher education and valuable professional skills training through South Africa’s award-winning Maharishi Invincibility Institute (MII).

ACF’s innovative financial model ensures the sustainability of our mission without sole reliance on philanthropy. Your support for Africa College Foundation (MII U.K.)’s fundraising efforts is an investment in transformative education. Capital raised will enable us to annually educate at least 40,000 students from disadvantaged backgrounds, propelling them towards successful careers, contributing to their families and communities. Africa College Foundation (MII U.K.)’s unique focus on Consciousness-Based approaches to education empowers youth to unlock their potential and optimise their development for the good of their own self and their society.

What we support, how it works

Preparing an Unprecedented Workforce

Leading educational institutions can sometimes be called: ‘Genius In, Genius Out’. They take 1% of the best in a population and produce great success with these individuals. What is far more significant and game-changing is to take the 99% of the population, and help them become truly successful. We support world-leading education that does just that at the lowest possible cost, and highest level of return.

Learn & Earn:

We support partners who enable agency by accompanying students to secure a job either on campus or externally throughout their studies so to provide them with work experience, leadership and soft skills, and enabling them to pay part of their earnings towards helping other students.
Pay it Forward:

All successful graduates fund another student, less the contributions already made through ‘Learn & Earn.’
