"I didn't think I would be up to speaking in front of an unknown audience since the time was limited but I did it with the support of the CorpsAfrica staff and the support of my volunteer colleagues."
"C'est une expérience positive dans la mesure où j'en ai gagné. En effet le nom de mon village est connu maintenant, tout le monde s'intéresse désormais sur l'activité phare de mon village et côté personnel, j'ai fait des rencontres fructueuses et nouer des relations prometteuses."
"It has been a turning point for me, every time I was asked to speak to a group of people in the past I would always take the back seat, and much less to a group that big I started thinking twice. But during the pitching, after I had all my nerves down I realized that I can do it and it has contributed greatly to my public speaking skills."
"Pitching my project was a great opportunity for me and my community to have their need fulfilled, and make their dream a reality."
Support Our Work
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: creating opportunities for youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty and build resilience. We recruit motivated volunteers to live and work in remote, low-income 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 rural communities to help each other.
