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

This Christmas, help us reach the children who need it most.

Our vision is for Africa to thrive.

ForAfrika is an African-founded and led organisation, with over 40 years of impact across the continent, and a vision to see Africa thrive.

We partner with African communities through our integrated development continuum, moving from crisis to self-sufficiency through our humanitarian and development work, and on to commercial viability through our social enterprise activities — creating a platform for thriving.

Our goal and promise

Our goal is to empower 20 million Africans to be self-sufficient and equip 6 million with a platform to thrive by 2032. We’re committed to the long run, until the job is done and communities are enabled to thrive.

Our work

We work through an integrated development continuum — a model that meets communities where they are at, often in times of crisis, and walks alongside them at every stage of their journey to self-sufficiency and ultimately thriving. ​​

Phase one of this continuum is our Humanitarian & Development work: the goal being self-sufficient communities. ​Self-sufficient communities are a huge achievement but it's not the goal, Africa thriving is our goal.​That’s where Social Enterprise comes in, the second phase of our development continuum. Here, we unlock economic potential, connect local producers to big markets, and build resilient, commercially viable communities. ​​

What we do

We implement integrated, community driven initiatives, that save lives, build resilience, enable self-sufficient communities and build strong local African economies.

Phase 1:
Humanitarian and Development

ForAfrika’s Humanitarian & Development division saves lives, restores dignity, and builds resilience.

Phase 2:
Social Enterprise

ForAfrika’s Social Enterprise division partners with African communities to unlock economic potential, catalyse local markets, and transform stabilised communities into commercially viable ones.

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.

We know the challenges our communities must overcome and how best to do that – being based in the communities we serve means we are agile and have local knowledge that informs our strategies and boosts our resilience.
