Dr. Richards Afonja is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Hematology and the American Board of Oncology, with over 26 years of private medical practice at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. He is the founder and CEO of American Hospitals and Resorts (Nig) Ltd., and specializes in Internal Medicine, Oncology, Hematology, Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation and social networking for patients with blood cancer and blood disorders.
In May 2014, Dr. Richards Afonja created the Greater Tomorrow Foundation (GTF), with the mission to train the children of Nigeria in digital literacy, and empower them to create a sustainable Bitcoin economic model for themselves and their families. The foundation is currently based in Nigeria, with a goal to expand throughout Africa.
On July 17, 2014, Dr. Afonja made a generous donation to the Women’s Annex Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization that teaches digital literacy to women in Afghanistan. Part of this donation was used to create a Greater Tomorrow Bitcoin Wallet at the Women’s Annex Foundation. The Bitcoin held in the Greater Tomorrow wallet will be used for BuzzScore payments to be sent to Nigerian, African and Central Asia women and men who create content that promotes Dr. Richards Afonja as a philanthropist, the Greater Tomorrow Foundation based in Nigeria, and Bitcoin as a tool for digital literacy in Nigeria.
The Greater Tomorrow Foundation will also hold a separate startup contest for App developers in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Plans for the IT App Contest are still in development and GTF has secured the website www.ITContest.org where contest rules will be announced in the third quarter of 2014.
Women’s Annex Foundation Board Member Fereshteh Forough stated:
"Women's Annex Foundation appreciates the generous donation of Dr. Afonja which promotes women's digital literacy in Afghanistan. With this donation, we can financially help our content providers, especially our girls in schools who write blogs, create films and share their stories with us, not only to be involved in the social and digital media world, but also to be economically independent and keep track of their own finance" .
