He invests in education, technology and social justice domain. Besides his success in business, he is still fazed by misery and poverty on African continent. He decided to bring much of his business profit back in South Africa to help NGOs and other structures to fight inequality and illiteracy among children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Roger Nzaba Foundation (RNF) was established back in 2010 as a non-profit organization for the sole purpose of providing financial support towards educational programs and socio-development initiatives in developing countries in Africa. RNF\u2019s mission is to support and finance educational and socio-development programs in developing countries with the help of corporate companies and partners around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roger Nzaba estimates that\u00a0poverty is a pervasive force in the world, and unfortunately it is found in every city, and in every country. Almost half of the planet; over 3 billion people,\u00a0live on less than $2.50 a day.\u00a0And 1 in 7 people are living in extreme poverty. Many are children.\u00a0According to statistics, 9,000 youth\u00a0die each day due to poverty\u00a0in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the eyes of the world. And based on 2015 enrollment data, about 263 million children of primary school age in the developing world were not in school,\u00a0and\u00a0nearly 115 million of our\u00a0youth are illiterate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether one blames the poor economy or political policies for these severe and tarnishing issues, the fact remains that the need for creative solutions to this plague are needed now more than ever. It is absolutely vital that we work together as a people to fight poverty and illiteracy, and work towards a better and brighter future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through his foundation (RNF), Roger Nzaba recognizes\u00a0that poverty and illiteracy are very complex problems, which require many extraordinary individuals, organizations and groups, all offering their energy, resources, expertise and passions to eradicate these issues\u00a0in all its forms and manifestations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many families and children struggling with the storm of poverty in their everyday lives, and\u00a0they\u00a0deserve and need our best, and together by building a better world for them, we will be building a better world for all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RNF runs programs such as Kutanga Sponsorship and Bursaries. The Roger Nzaba Foundation, in partnership with its donors provides the necessary funding to see young Africans with academic potential get to university. With their assistance, students are able to study towards any degree at various local universities. The RNF yearly target is 20 students for a (3) year degree course and 50 students for a (1) year diploma course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second project is House of Zondi.\u00a0This is community Centre\u00a0RNF will\u00a0built in Blue Hills Midrand, Johannesburg in South Africa, and will contain\u00a0a Feeding centre, Counseling rooms, Food Warehouse, Event Hall, Library, Conference rooms and Training rooms and offices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third project is Kudia Mingi \u2013 Feeding Centre.
