CorpsAfrica Blue
CorpsAfrica Blue is an initiative focusing on water-related issues, aiming to utilize CorpsAfrica Volunteers to address problems like water scarcity, waterborne diseases, sewage, and contamination. By training Volunteers to understand these issues scientifically, the initiative hopes to empower them to implement water projects and innovations, such as sustainable irrigation or mangrove restoration, in rural communities where they serve. This approach not only addresses immediate water challenges but also allows Volunteers to provide valuable feedback and support for broader community development.
CorpsAfrica Blue Projects
Ensuring clean, accessible water for the future requires innovation in all areas today. Water has been the focus of 35% of CorpsAfrica projects. Volunteers improved irrigation techniques, eliminated sewage, increased access to clean water, stimulated entrepreneurship using water, and more.CorpsAfrica Volunteers in Senegal have used outside innovations in their projects such as treadle pumps for crop irrigation, solar panels for energy efficiency, and promoted sustainable permaculture practices, to alleviate water scarcity.

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.
