The A.Scott Foundation has supported The African Promise from its inception to the program launch.

The African Promise (TAP) is a four-week long enrichment program designed to challenge and motivate young Ethiopian students in Yeka Kifle Ketema, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia by creating a positive learning environment where they build their English language skills and learn about democratic ethics and leadership, all while furthering their computer literacy.  This program thus offers a greater level of independence to those who are in need, and can vastly increase their quality of life and future successes.
