Now forming — founding members

We don’t just give back.
We build forward.

The TEF Builders Circle is a membership community for African diaspora who are done with temporary aid — and ready to build lasting systems on the continent.

Makurdi IDP Camp, Benue State, Nigeria — this is where we are building.

What membership means

Three things every member
is part of.

Community

A real home for diaspora Africans who want to do more than send money. Monthly dinners, networking events, and honest conversations about building in Africa.

Monthly gatherings Networking events Workshops

Impact

Your membership directly funds the TEF IDP Camp Learning Center in Makurdi — and the systems we build after it. Real infrastructure, not temporary relief.

ICT hubs Schools Scholarships Youth businesses Upskilling

Transparency

Every dollar is accounted for. Members see exactly where their money goes — monthly, with photos, names, and outcomes from the ground in Nigeria. No vague reports.

“These children don’t need temporary aid.
They need someone to build with them.”
