I hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe during these challenging times.

While the world struggles with the global pandemic, the climate crisis, political upheaval, and so much more, the CorpsAfrica Volunteers have bravely remained at their sites, helping their communities to prevent the spread of Covid-19, endure the economic upheaval, and prepare for future crises by facilitating small-scale, high-impact projects that the local people themselves have identified.

This is where you come in. There are many innovative CorpsAfrica initiatives that are more important now than ever and need heroes like you to help make them happen. Projects like:

These and other CorpsAfrica projects have been designed to build resilience by stressing long-term food security, infrastructure, and economic empowerment. All of the Volunteers have secured significant in-kind and cash contributions from the communities in which they live. They have also written detailed proposals and produced and starred in short videos that explain the need, the project specifics, and the impacts they expect them to have. Please click here to watch the inspiring videos and read the proposals written by the CorpsAfrica Volunteers in Morocco, Senegal, Malawi and Rwanda.

You can sponsor any of the projects listed on the project page, or donate to CorpsAfrica (in any amount) and we will direct the funds where they are needed most.

CorpsAfrica is creating a growing movement of passionate and ambitious young Africans ready to learn, give back, and grow through long-term, community-based service. In March of this historic year, 56 volunteers quickly transitioned to providing critical crisis-response efforts in their villages. This unprecedented experience has demonstrated the power of the CorpsAfrica model of local volunteers helping local people with no preconceived agenda other than listening to them and building their capacity to help themselves.

We are working to help the Volunteers successfully complete their service and learn from their experiences. Their projects will build stronger, more resilient communities. Please join us in this effort by making a donation today.
