Welcome to our Blog! What are the goals of "Africonnection"? To further the Kingdom. To help North American friends make a connection with the lives and experiences of their brothers and sisters in Africa. And to give North American friends an opportunity to partner with Africa Nazarene University as it supports the Kingdom through the Church of the Nazarene in Africa.

Kenyan Enterprise


The Kenyans we met and saw by the roadside are clearly anxious to improve their situation. The owner of this outside hat shop was using a roadside hedge to display her merchandise. The roads are lined with stand selling fruits and vegetables, clothing, soft drinks, hardware, CD's and DVD's, fabric, hats, shoes and a hundred other kinds of items. Business students at ANU have started a chapter of an international club called "Students In Free Enterprise" (SIFE) that teaches them how to run successful and ethical businesses. It's natural to want to help people who are so anxious to help themselves.
