AYA Educational Institute, directed by Afiya Madzimoyo, M.S.W., and Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo provides quality educational alternatives and resources for children of African descent. AYA's programs immerse students, parents and other adults in an African-centered educational and social environment that is rich in our past and culture.
