About Us

At Afies+, we believe every dream deserves a clear path. That's why we coach, train, and connect students with international schools and universities—removing the barriers and guiding them from application to arrival.

Our Story

In 2019, Dr. Mevo was the only Beninese doctoral graduate among 6,000 students at Walden University. This moment highlighted the lack of representation for French-speaking African students in the U.S. educational system. And therefore, within British ecosystem of education.

Afies+ was subsequently born to:

Simplify and accelerate enrollment for African students
Provide English language and cultural preparation
Create leaders who can shape the future of Africa and the world
Bridge the gap between business world of French-speaking countries and English-speaking one.
