We reflect on “40 years ForAfrika” with a promise that says we’re committed to the long haul, until the job is done and communities are enabled to thrive.

The challenges of our continent are diverse and complex but together we can overcome them.

Your support means access to education, food, water, health, income, and dignity for those who need it most. Our locally led interventions and your generosity will save lives, build resilience, and bring hope as we work together for an Africa that thrives.

Our work

We listen to the priorities of our people and together design programmes that give all African people the ability to thrive.

Emergencies

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

Africa is the most vulnerable continent to natural and man-made disasters as well as epidemics, with over 1,000 disasters recorded in the past decade

Learn how we respond in emergencies

School

Break time: A young boy enjoys refreshments between lessons at Nikuapa School in Mozambique. The school’s principal, Clarissa Nakulenga, said she struggled to keep children in class before receiving their large water tanks and toilets at the school. “We had about 25 children in each group, now we have 50-60!” she says.

Health

Clean hands: A young child is shown to wash her hands before eating her lunch at a daycare centre in South Africa. Hygiene and good sanitation are high on our list of priorities - a simple yet very effective intervention against the spread of disease.

Growth

Water for all: Awuru Amalia smiles broadly as she pumps water from the communal well in Omugu, Uganda. The 68-year-old used to have to walk 15kms from home to get water from the river along with fellow community members who depend on farming for food and an income. The well now sits on their doorstep allowing them to access the water they need with ease- now their farms can flourish.

Food

Community garden: Aliza Deng Lual has joined a group of gardening women in Apanda , South Sudan. “Ever since ForAfrika fixed this shallow well, a lot has changed in my life. We were able to start this garden to grow our own vegetables. I was also given tools and skills. Now I have sorghum, ground nuts and sim sim. I can feed my children.”

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!
