Who We Are

The Apricus Foundation was established to educate people about the deplorable standards of public health and the vital role of STEM education in developing countries. We encourage people to provide potential solutions or to merely spread awareness regarding the state of health and sanitization, as well as the accessibility to STEM education, in impoverished communities within third-world countries.

How We Make Change

The Apricus Foundation establishes a platform for advocacy that strives toward expanding the reach of STEM education and ameliorating the conditions of public healthcare in impoverished communities.

Fundraise

By utilizing a variety of fundraising approaches, the Apricus Foundation attempts to build a reliable funding base for our most important mission services and initiatives. Oftentimes, we attempt to support funding efforts for the implementation of STEM education in institutions.

Mobilization

We mobilize individuals across the world behind efforts to make the deplorable standards of public healthcare and lack of STEM education in poverty-stricken communities a global priority that must be acted upon.

JOURNALISM

Our volunteers provide original commentary on issues in correlation with STEM plaguing the third-world, whether as a news article or illustrations.

Spread Awareness & Educate

Through our online and community presence, we build awareness of global issues/innovations pertaining to STEM education and public healthcare in impoverished areas. Workshops, mentors, and podcast episodes allow for us to educate our audience.
