After receiving (HCD) and (ABCD) lessons and 6 weeks of discussion with the volunteer, the community decided to create an ambitious project that addressed supplementing income, bolstering agricultural productivity, providing important nutrients to improve health, and increasing education. However, Isaac aided the community in creating an achievable goal by narrowing their focus, which led the community to decide to repair the Nyabihanga-Kariha pipeline. During this project, Isaac acted as a point-person for the community and as an organizer of the project, as he consistently communicated with the community, prepared the project proposal, and finalized the budget.
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.
