When American philanthropy organizations want to make grants to organizations outside the United States, they must go through an elaborate and costly process to determine if the organization they want to support is the equivalent of a U.S. public charity.
ED certified status means Qhala Trust has undergone a vetting process so that potential funders from the states know that Women on Wings is equivalent to a U.S. public charity.
With Qhala Trust’s ED certified status these donors can more quickly and efficiently make grants to Qhala trust.
Qhala trust looks forward to new funding opportunities this could bring, so that its work of innovation in shaping africa's digital future and economic development can continue.
Africa stands at a critical juncture, with key sectors such as healthcare, education, financial services, agriculture, and the labor market facing both significant challenges and opportunities for transformative growth:
With less than 1 doctor per 1,000 people in many parts of the continent, compared to the global average of 1.5, the need for scalable and accessible healthcare solutions is more urgent than ever.
Over 60% of Africa's population is under the age of 25, presenting an unprecedented opportunity to leverage digital education to empower the next generation. Yet, with over 30 million children out of school, innovative approaches to education are critical.
Approximately 66% of Sub-Saharan Africans are unbanked, highlighting a vast potential for digital financial services to drive economic inclusion and growth.
Agriculture employs over 60% of Africa's labor force but suffers from low productivity. Digital innovations can revolutionize this sector, enhancing food security and farmers' incomes
The youth unemployment rate in some African countries is as high as 30%, underscoring the urgent need for digital skills training and entrepreneurship support to harness the potential of Africa's young population.
