We offer 7 major programs serving over 700 students and their families annually. Each student's talents and interests are celebrated to produce a learning experience that is both planned and spontaneous. Our programs have been carefully designed to promote self-awareness and inner growth, knowledge of African culture, the meaning of community and the importance of respecting and loving one another.

These principles serve as the basis for daily life at Ifetayo and are reflected in all aspects of the programs, as well as the way in which staff and volunteers are welcomed and encouraged to be a part of the Ifetayo community.
