Building on our solid track record of helping Christian Scientists in the US and Canada, The Albert Baker Fund has successfully expanded our outreach to help fund the education of Christian Scientists in ten African countries since 2004.
As this outreach in other countries has become established, we see evidence of the impact of our support: in individual lives uplifted through education and growth, in the many ways our recipients strengthen and transform their communities, and in their humble desire to give back to ABF, their churches, and the Christian Science Movement.
Here are a few stories from recent graduates in Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda:
George Sognon–from college student to mentor and investment banker
We join George Sognon of Accra, Ghana, in celebrating his college graduation, earning a BS degree in Business Administration from Ashesi University College in June 2013.
But not only has George stayed focused on his studies during his college years, he has served in a number of internships, including Internships at two investment banks in Accra: Blackstar Databank and Financial Services Ltd.

Anna Wambugu–helping to raise living standards in developing countries
Anna learned about Christian Science in 2003 from a neighbor who invited her to visit the church in Nairobi. Anna says that from that first service, “I never looked back.” She soon joined The Mother Church and then her branch church, and in 2007 she took Christian Science class instruction.
