CorpsAfrica hosted a special reception, “CorpsAfrica in focus” at the Penumbra Foundation in New York City. Featured speakers included Bismack Biyombo of the Charlotte Hornets and His Excellency Edward Yakobe Sawarengera, the Malawi Ambassador to the U.S. The event also featured a silent auction of photos from the CorpsAfrica community and valuable NBA memorabilia.
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: engaging youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty. We recruit and train motivated volunteers to live and work in rural, under-resourced areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and, by doing so, gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.
CorpsAfrica trusts youth and communities to help each other.
