OneAfrica University
The Foundation
Empowering the African continent through the pursuit of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education. The dream that Africa will live up to its full potential in the twenty first century when its children achieve their full potential in STEM education and inject the knowledge in the development effort.
About Us
The world is moving at an extremely fast pace, and STEM runs every part of our lives, the earth, and the sky. Africa is at a crossroads. How well we do in computer science, engineering and technology will affect the various factors and processes which either constrain or enhance people's ability to make a living in an economically and socially sustainable manner.
OneAfrica University of Computer Science, Technology and Engineering Foundation aims to foster the transformation of Africa through the adoption of STEM education for every African child, be they of rich or poor parentage, boy or girl, able or challenged. The Foundation needs every African and friends of Africa to join the effort to make this dream come true.
The Foundation seeks to be an active participant. It aims to help maintain the highest standards, make STEM education affordable for the communities it serves, and support students to transition into change makers and social innovators through tertiary education all over the continent. OneAfrica University of Computer Science, Technology and Engineering Foundation therefore aims to raise funds to support social programs that will help OneAfrica University of Computer Science Technology and Engineering (OAU-CSTE) promote high quality and internationally competitive teaching and learning, research and innovation, and public service for enhanced value-addition to our natural resources. It will emphasize entrepreneurship in students with the understanding that such thinking will stimulate minds and catalyze economic growth and sustainable development in Africa.
Africa Must Hurry Up to Catch Up
The world is moving at an extremely fast pace in these main sectors that they run every part of our lives, the climate, and the environment. Africa is at a crossroads. How well we do in computer science, engineering and technology will affect the various factors and processes which will either constrain or enhance people's ability to make a living in an economically and socially sustainable manner.
Data Is Everything We Are
Today, data has become the most valuable “commodity”. Data is about the collection of facts and statistics on people and things for reference or analysis. We need data to conduct studies. We can also boldly declare that “data are us”. The quest to assemble data of all kinds has brought us to the collection of our human DNA. Data collected on people and things tell what the future is going to be, hence the importance of computers in the collection, storage, transmission, and analytical process.
