“…Some countries in Africa are among the poorest in the world. In several where we work, nearly half the population lives below the poverty line. Meanwhile, Africa is rich in underutilized talent, with hundreds of universities graduating educated youth who can’t find enough jobs to employ them. By tapping their idealism and energy, CorpsAfrica empowers these young adults to be part of the solution…”
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.
