A New Chapter: Launching a Nonprofit to Drive Sustainable Impact in Africa
Dear Family and Friends,
Iβm beyond excited to share a deeply personal milestone with you all. After more than a decade at Intel, where I had the opportunity to innovate, lead, and grow, Iβve stepped into a new chapterβone that is truly close to my heart.
Iβm officially launching Africa International Foundation (AIF), a nonprofit dedicated to creating real, lasting change in communities across Africa. This isnβt just a projectβitβs a mission fueled by my personal journey, my passion for empowering others, and the unwavering support Iβve received from so many of you.
Why This Means So Much to Me
Growing up in Zambia, I saw firsthand how access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity can change lives. My journeyβfrom surviving mainly of food we grew on our small small farm to leading innovation at Intelβhas shown me whatβs possible when people have the right tools and opportunities. Now, Iβm taking everything Iβve learned and using it to drive sustainable impact where itβs needed most.
What Weβre Working On
π Early Childhood Education & Healthcare β Weβve secured land in Zambia to build an integrated education and health center to support young children and mothers.
β‘ Sustainable Economic Growth β Partnering with businesses, NGOs, and governments to create jobs and empower entrepreneurs.
π€ Tech-Driven Solutions β Leveraging AI and digital tools to make development efforts smarter, more efficient, and scalable.
A Heartfelt Thank You
I wouldnβt be here without the love, support, and encouragement of my family and friends. Many of you have shaped my journey in ways big and small, and I am deeply grateful.
How You Can Be Part of This Journey
This mission is bigger than me, and Iβd love for you to be part of it:
π‘ Stay Connected β Follow our updates and see the impact weβre making.
π£ Share the Vision β Spread the word about AIF and help us reach more people.
π€ Collaborate β Whether through partnerships, mentorship, or sharing expertise, your involvement can make a real difference.
This is just the beginning, and I canβt wait to see where this journey takes us. Thank you for believing in me, and for being part of something truly meaningful.
With gratitude and excitement,
Mitch Sikapizye
