Our Mission
Focus Africa works to improve the quality of life of the people in Africa.

Our Vision
Focus Africa is a leading non-governmental organization (NGO) committed to addressing African development and policy issues by working in partnership with African people to build sustainable, healthy and productive communities.

Focus Africa designs projects with participatory appraisals. What does that mean? Focus Africa staff, most of whom are community members themselves, work with each community to identify what development difficulties they face and what local resources are available to achieve solutions. In addition to national and corporate leaders, we consult with traditional and religious leaders when designing projects, and we react to local feedback as projects progress. We contract local companies to carry out certain project tasks, such as the construction of a community library, so local firms earn the experience and the income.

No Project Too Big Or Too Small for us

 

The vast majority of the world’s poor are women. Two-thirds of the world’s illiterate population are female. Of the millions of school age children not in school, the majority are girls. And today, HIV/AIDS is rapidly becoming a woman’s disease. Women comprise nearly 60 percent of all people living with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa

Our aim is to overcome the deep resignation people in the developing world often find themselves in as a result of failed development initiatives. Focus Africa urges people not to wait to be rescued, but to take action now to meet their basic needs.

In order to strengthen local government, Focus Africa also works from the top down, lobbying for state and national law changes, and in some cases court rulings, to shift power to the hands of the people.
