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

World Food Day

Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future

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.

What we do

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

Our programming pillars

Through six integrated pillars we partner with African communities from crisis through recovery, strengthening resilience so they can withstand future shocks and ultimately reach self-sufficiency.

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.

Latest

Hear from those who are working together for Africa to thrive. Every one of them - a story worth sharing.
