Our Work

Africa’s abundant resources will one day feed and power the world. Yet thousands of children die here every day because they lack the basic needs to survive.

With local knowledge and in partnership with our communities, we remove barriers and restore the abundance of Africa to its people. With our dedicated staff and partners, who live and work in our communities, we listen to the priorities of the people and together design programmes that continue to save lives, build resilience and transform our communities. 

01. Responding to emergencies

We respond to natural disasters and made man conflicts having delivered hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food, hygiene kits, shelter and water to tens of thousands of people across various emergencies.

02. Providing water, sanitation and hygiene

We work with our communities to give them access to clean water and sanitation by drilling and rehabilitating wells, installing latrines and providing WASH training; keeping over 600,000 people safe and free from disease last year.

03. Generating food security and livelihoods

By reaching nearly a million people, creating over 100 communal farms , training farmers and equipping them with over 300,000 seeds and tools just last year , we create food security and stable livelihoods for our people.

04. Fostering health and nutrition

We save countless lives by screening and treating for malnutrition , providing take home rations of food, vitamins and deworming, to ensure the next generation of Africans are healthy and strong .

05. Empowering education

Serving over fifteen million school meals to hundreds of thousands of children , revamping school infrastructure and creating over 200 school gardens just last year to keep our children in school for a brighter tomorrow.

06. Empowering economic growth

Through community agriculture, market relevant vocational and business training, and village loans we are empowering our people to ensure their economic resilience. Africa can thrive.

"The scale of the challenge is enormous, but so are the dreams of Africa’s people. If we all come together for Africa, providing the resources needed to plant the seeds of transformation, we can and will see Africa's communities shift away from charity to self-sufficiency. From surviving to thriving!"
