Empower 20 million Africans to sustainably provide for themselves by 2032.

We believe that aid is not charity, but investment—investment in Africa’s future.

Across Africa, we are growing food locally, building sustainable water systems and providing communities with the skills and training they need to thrive. This is how we use aid to create transformation—how we move from reliance to resilience.

In light of the recent USAID funding changes, ForAfrika confronts a challenge, with an immediate impact of $5 million affecting four critical projects across South Sudan, Uganda and Mozambique.

Imagine an Africa that no longer depends on foreign aid but instead becomes a powerhouse—supplying food and goods to the very nations that have supported us for so long.

What we do

We implement integrated, community-led programmes that save lives, build resilience, and enable transformational community development.

Humanitarian and Development

Our approach places communities firmly in the driving seat, instilling a sense of ownership and responsibility. We empower communities with the knowledge, skills, and resources to chart their own sustainable path forward, without relying on temporary external aid.

Social Enterprise

Across Africa, there is a pressing and vital need for communities to move beyond mere self-sustenance and become commercially viable. However, many efforts in this direction are isolated and primarily focused on urban areas, often resulting in limited success rates and minimal impact, with a notable disconnect from NGO development activities.

Our programming pillars

Across our six core programming pillars, developed through tried-and-tested processes, we address a myriad of interconnected community vulnerabilities.

Emergency Response

We offer vital support and resources to our communities when they need us most.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

We work with communities to provide access to clean water and better hygiene.

Food Security and Livelihoods

We help create food security and more sustainable livelihoods for our people.

Health and Nutrition

We provide health and nutritional support for healthier, stronger communities.

Education

We build better futures by enabling a strong and stable educational environment.

Economic Empowerment

We equip our communities with the right skills and access to grow Africa’s economy.

Where we work

We love this place and we love our people. Africa is home and we know what needs to be done to see it thrive.
