CORPSAFRICA

African communities. African volunteers. Lasting impact.

CorpsAfrica is a non-profit organization that recruits and places ambitious Africans in remote, high-poverty communities in their own countries. These men and women live in the community and initiate sustainable projects that fulfill key needs and whose impact and success can be carefully measured, all through a transformative volunteer experience.

"When I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco, amazing young Moroccans used to ask me if they could do what I was doing - they'd say, 'I'm Moroccan, I want to help my country, can I be a Peace Corps Volunteer?' and I had to say, 'Sorry, it's only for Americans.' I started CorpsAfrica so they could have the same opportunity I did to learn, grow, and make an impact."
– Liz Fanning, Founder and Executive Director of CorpsAfrica

"I am proud of how much I have grown and changed. I am now a more complete human being having living and interacted with people who are less fortunate than me. I am more appreciative of what I have and I have had a spirit of giving back instilled in me. CorpsAfrica has changed my life for the better."
– Lusekelo Simwela, Malawi Group 1
