On Thursday, October 21st, Senator Richard Lugar honored Sagamore Institute's unveiling of its Indiana-Africa Connections Project, a database that lists more than 250 Indiana individuals and organizations who regularly engage with sub-Saharan Africa.

Sagamore worked with University of Indianapolis graduate students to compile the database, which includes entries such as the Bryantsville Hunger Relief Project, a farm that sends corn to South African countries, and The Institute for Affordable Transportation, an Indianapolis-based group that manufactures and distributes low-cost utility vehicles to individuals in developing countries.

Senator Lugar's experience as former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and advocate for improving Africa's economy and health care makes him an ideal partner with Sagamore in showcasing Indiana's role as an important global citizen.
