Projects in Need of Funds

Each one of these projects has been identified, designed, implemented, and invested in by the local people. During their training, the CorpsAfrica Volunteers learn to listen to all stakeholders, facilitate the process, and bring everyone to consensus around a project that meets their highest priority development need. They write the proposals and budgets with input from the community. Sometimes they bring in Development Partners to partner on projects or simply to provide expertise and advice. Importantly, they monitor and evaluate the impact of the project and submit timely reports for full accountability and transparency – all while living in the community. 

​We've listed below Volunteer projects that are in need of funds. 
You can sponsor any of these projects by making a donation in the exact amount of the project (we'll follow up with you to confirm) or, you can make a donation in any amount to CorpsAfrica and we will spend it, carefully and transparently, where it is needed most.

​Many, many thanks!

Ali’s Water Canal Project in MOROCCO
Ali wants to restore and build an irrigation canal to increase water flow to the local orchards. The current method of distributing water is not sufficient, as it results in a significant amount of water seeping into the ground. Ultimately the village will benefit from a guarantee of 300 apple trees in the coming years. Read Ali's proposal here.

Marie Celestine's Women's Bakery Project in SENEGAL
The village of Ndorong Malick and the surrounding area does not have a bakery, so bread must be brought in once a week.

Additionally, this project will improve the economic condition of women, which will enable them to invest in future development projects.
Marie Celestine's proposal will be posted soon.

Phoibe’s Sheep Farming Project in RWANDA aims to combat malnutrition and soil infertility. Sheep are disease resistant, have short intervals of reproduction, and can feed on a large variety of grasses, which reduces the stress of looking for feed. The sheep will create a manure source to fertilize crops, which then increases agricultural productivity and revenue. Read Phoibe's proposal here.
