Njeri Wagacha sits down with Liz Fanning, Founder and CEO of CorpsAfrica, to explore her transformative journey from Peace Corps volunteer to building an organization dedicated to empowering young people and high-poverty rural communities across Africa. The conversation delves into African-led development, local ownership, youth engagement, and the critical importance of listening to communities as they identify solutions to their own challenges.
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.
