African Impact Foundation is on a mission to equip young people with education and skills to move out of poverty. Our holistic approach gives young people in Southern and Eastern Africa the best chance of real, long-term change to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their community through four pillars: Gender Equality, Education, Wellness and Livelihoods.
During the 12 years of the African Impact Foundation’s impact, we have seen first-hand how youth face specific challenges, as well as have a window of time to make decisions about their future. Because of this, we want to see young people have access to more opportunities and grow skills to create a prosperous life for themselves, their family, and their community.
