Later, if you come up with another idea, and see the need for it, you can start your own. Then you will all ready know a little bit about how such organizations are formed, maintained, and have the network and resources to make your idea a reality.

If you start another to do the same thing, it may take away from the usefulness of both.
...they have schools setup over there to train native pastors and preachers. It would take you many years to get to that point no matter what. Why not join them? Write and ask what you can do to help?
Maybe when you are old enough you could do a missionary trip there.
You mentioned Africa specifically, but there is a really OUTSTANDING place called Gospel For Asia. They really have their stuff together:
