Welcome to the African Forum for Innovative Teachers (AFFiT) — a vibrant community where your passion for teaching meets groundbreaking opportunities to grow, lead, and transform education across Africa.
AFFiT recognizes that digital literacy is no longer just a desirable skill, but a fundamental requirement for success in today’s world. That’s why we offer a range of programs designed to upskill teachers in digital tools and teaching technologies, including scholarships for online courses, tech certifications, and ICT-related degrees.
Our Story
AFFiT was born out of a deep belief that teachers are the true changemakers in society. Yet too often, their dedication goes unnoticed and unrewarded. Established by the Standtall Africa Initiative and fully registered with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education, AFFiT is here to change that narrative. We celebrate the heroes of classrooms everywhere — the teachers who innovate, inspire, and ignite the future.
