The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has slashed $51 million from the U.S. African Development Foundation and revealed the shocking initiatives receiving the money.
The mission to save American taxpayer dollars has uncovered some of the downright absurd ways the federal government has spent funds while voters lose sleep at night over making ends meet. DOGE announced the foundation cuts on X, and laid out some of the ways the grant money was being allocated.
Look:
The US African Development Foundation has terminated $51M in grants, including:
-$229,296 for marketing 100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso
-$84,059 for a business incubator for spa & wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria
-$239,738 for marketing pineapple juice in Benin…— Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE) April 7, 2025
According to the post, $229,296 was disbursed for marketing 100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso, $84,059 was allotted for a business incubator for spa & wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria, $239,738 went to marketing pineapple juice in Benin and $246,217 was given for mango drying facilities in the Ivory Coast. Meanwhile, $99,566 was spent to increase yogurt production in Uganda, $48,406 was dedicated to a WhatsApp marketing chatbot in Kenya and another $50,000 was spent to train farmers to grow dragonfruit in Senegal.
X users were stunned by the numbers, and many had questions about exactly where the money ended up:
How much actually went to these countries for business assistance and how much was siphoned off by ‘administrators’ and ‘consultants’ in the US. That’s what we need to know.

There’s no way the NGOs actually used all of that money on exactly what they list it for. 250k for “mango drying????” You cut mangoes and put them on a clean slab in the sun to make dried mango slices. That’s it. You come by every so often and make sure no insects are getting on…

I am so beyond angry and stressed knowing that for the last four years, we’ve been struggling to the point where all our savings are gone, and we may lose our home because of costs. Plus, I have MS, am homebound the majority of time, but the healthcare costs are astronomical. The…

Thank you DOGE! This is ridiculous! We work too hard and too much in taxes for our money to be handed out like for things that do nothing to help us. We are not other countries personal ATM.
