AFRICA AMERICA HIGHER EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS, AAHEP AFRICA AMERICA HIGHER EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS AAHEP assists in training/qualifying African women of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics for PhD degrees in US universities. They return to Africa to teach and lead, bringing to Africa a new intellectual and academic culture that will help elevate battered African universities. AAHEP was formed in 2007, and believes that women are half the sky and hold in their grasp Africa's fate. AAHEP is a Diaspora group that epitomizes the best of the Diaspora - giving back to Africa that which can not be corrupted (education) and that which will last for many generations to come. At a time when the world is defending itself from bigotry and terrorism, AAHEP's women's education is the best, most inexpensive antidote possible. STEM PhDs are superior to all else America can give to Africa.
