Ep. 38 – Karen Elliott and the Rafiki Foundation

Scott Postma September 29, 2022

This is Episode 38 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog sponsored by Kepler Education.

In this episode, Scott Postma talks with the executive director of the Rafiki Foundation, Karen Elliot. Rafiki means “friend” in Swahili and depicts the purpose of the Foundation – to help people know God and raise their standard of living with excellence and integrity. Since 1985, the Foundation has been building Rafiki Villages throughout Africa that seek to cultivate human flourishing through Bible study and classical Christian education.

Karen has served with Rafiki since 1990, including twelve years on the mission field, primarily in Nigeria. She is now Rafiki’s executive director. She holds a BBA in finance/accounting and music minor from Southern Methodist University, Masters degree in Education from UTA and is currently pursuing doctoral studies at Faulkner University.
