CorpsAfrica Green
CorpsAfrica Green focuses on combating climate change and its detrimental effects on rural communities in Africa. CorpsAfrica Volunteers witness these effects, including droughts, deforestation, rising sea levels, soil erosion, and erratic rain cycles, highlighting the urgent need to equip vulnerable populations with tools and strategies for climate resilience. The Volunteers, serving as local advocates, are well-placed to collaborate with communities in implementing lasting solutions to environmental challenges.
CorpsAfrica Green Projects
CorpsAfrica places immense value on collaborative efforts that bring together the diverse expertise and resources of Development Partners. We believe in the power of synergy—where the collective strength of organizations, combined with the passion and dedication of CorpsAfrica Volunteers, can create a more profound impact on climate change-related projects. By fostering efficient collaboration, we aim to create a unified force capable of responding effectively to the urgent needs of communities at the forefront of climate change. Volunteers have utilized outside innovations such as eco-friendly stoves, charcoal briquettes fabrication, kitchen gardens, crop-irrigating treadle pumps, aqueducts, and solar panels.
Waste Management
CorpsAfrica/Senegal Volunteer Bouna facilitated a waste management project where 400 households received trashcans and signed up for monthly cleaning days.
Irrigation Development and Agricultural Guidance
CorpsAfrica/Maroc Volunteer Saâdia facilitated a bio-constructed water reservoir, which returned irrigation to 50 acres of land and 2,500 walnut and apple trees.
Locally-Sourced Fertilizer
CorpsAfrica/Malawi Volunteer Mphatso taught local farmers how to make their own organic, locally sourced fertilizer.

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.
