Why Give to American University of Nigeria Foundation

The American University of Nigeria is the only American-style university in Sub-Saharan Africa. Located in Yola, Adamawa State, AUN’s mission is to be a “development university.” AUN believes in not only training the next generation of leaders capable of creating innovative solutions to Nigeria’s development challenges, but also in being an agent of development and change throughout the Northeast.

AUN founded and leads the Adamawa Peace Initiative (AUN-API), a council of local Muslim, Christian, and other traditional and business leaders. AUN-API provides urgent emergency relief and long-term education, empowerment and economic development programs to prevent the radicalization of youth and equip vulnerable populations with skills and hope.

To support AUN’s crucial development work in northeast Nigeria, please consider making a donation to the AUN Foundation (AUNF).
