In Minyalala village, climate change has devastated once-fertile soil, impacting the 9,000-strong community’s ability to grow food and earn income. Malamaine Badiane, a Senegalese Exchange Volunteer in Kenya, led the Minyalala Green project, aimed at tackling these challenges within his community during his one year of service. The project includes establishing a fruit tree nursery for apple, mango, yellow passion fruit, and pawpaw trees, training farmers in sustainable land management, and constructing a check dam to manage water resources.
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.
