“When asked what she is proud of, Grace Sichinga expresses that she is proud of all the development and community work that she has done so far, especially the work that has reached those who are usually left behind in most development programmes.

Grace Sichinga is 25 years old, and a younger sister to Marumbo, a computer engineer. Her father is a civil engineer and her mother is a chartered accountant.

“I was blessed enough to be raised in a loving family. My parents have always encouraged us to do our best in everything we tried. They also gave us the opportunity to choose our own interests and supported us,” said Grace…”

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.
