MCLD: CorpsAfrica: Locals Helping Locals

“CorpsAfrica is a non-profit organization that recruits and places ambitious young Africans in remote, high-poverty communities in their own countries to facilitate small-scale, high-impact projects that are identified by local people, fulfill key needs, and whose impact and success can be carefully measured, all through a transformative volunteer experience. Liz Fanning the Founder and Executive Director said, “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.” This compelled Liz to drive the initiative which has brought CorpsAfrica to where it is now, with operations in Morocco, Senegal, Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi…”
