WHO WE ARE
We, the Righthand International Foundation, are a non-profit-making and a non-political organization engaged in community development, social welfare and capacity building for the inclusive and transparent growth of African communities. RIF was established in 2008 as an association helping local community school drop-outs with academic counselling, encouraging them to go back to school and further their education, as well as providing means of sponsorship and sustainability of study. R.I.F. was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and obtained a certificate with Reg. No: CAC/IT/NO104540 on 21st December, 2017. We provide helping hands to global communities and languages within Africa through transforming communities as God intended from the beginning (Matthew 6:10).
