CorpsAfrica Black
CorpsAfrica Black focuses on promoting financial literacy in rural communities in Africa and beyond. The initiative empowers Volunteers to provide financial education, promote transparency and accountability, and facilitate access to financial services like community savings groups and bank accounts. CorpsAfrica emphasizes the importance of these efforts for community-led sustainable development.

Support Our Work
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: creating opportunities for youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty and build resilience. We recruit motivated volunteers to live and work in remote, low-income 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 rural communities to help each other.
