Our Vision
Our Vision is of an Africa that is not dependent on aid, but on the resourcefulness and capabilities of its people.
Mission
We are an NGO in Africa working in a very different way than most.
We believe that development must come from within, not outside African communities. That it is Africans themselves who must determine Africa’s future, and that while international aid has provided much-needed support, it often falls short of enabling lasting change at grassroots level.
We want to change this, and our strong bonds with African communities mean we are uniquely placed to do so.
Our mission is to work at the roots of communities to create environments in which Africans can thrive. Working alongside African communities to co-create a new story for Africa-a future that is shaped by their values, powered by their own resourcefulness and built on their capabilities.
Values
Efficiency
We do exactly what’s needed, where it’s needed. This often means breaking the mould and seeking community-driven solutions.
Humility
We don’t have all the answers. We know that listening is sometimes better than talking.
Collaboration
We work with our communities to co-create programs.
Interconnection
We recognize that our work is only as effective as the relationships we build and maintain.
Conviction
We do and say what’s needed, not necessarily what’s expected.
