Karen Elliott is the executive director of the Rafiki Foundation. Karen travels to Africa several times a year and oversees the work of the Rafiki Foundation which, through its 10 Rafiki Villages, is working toward bringing Bible study and classical Christian education to a thousand schools in Africa and beyond in the next decade. Karen believes classical Christian education should go global starting with some of the most marginalized children in the world – Africa. This podcast seeks to answer – “What does Athens have to do with Africa?” and much more.
Karen Elliott is the executive director of the Rafiki Foundation. She has served with Rafiki since 1990, including twelve years on the mission field, most of that time in Jos, Nigeria. Karen travels to Africa several times each year to oversee operations at each Rafiki Village and considers herself to be an “American African” who is comfortable talking to presidents of African countries, national church leaders, local tribal chieftains– but her passion revolves around caring for the children and students at Rafiki Villages.
