graduate studies
Africa's Hope functions in a supportive role interacting as requested with these programs in such areas as: curriculum development, staff training, facilitation of teachers and mentors, endorsement services, text and library services (providing books, core library lists, helping with library set-up and training).
The Africa's Hope network includes five schools with graduate-level training:

Africa's Hope helps students with writing and research in the following areas:
- Facilitating the mentoring of graduate level writing
- Graduate level instruction in research methods
