We are only ever as strong as our teams and our partners, so being closely aligned with non-profits means we’re always monitoring and evaluating the positive impacts we’re making through volunteering.
African Impact was integral in the establishment of The African Impact Foundation in 2008, which was established with the aim to increase our positive impact in rural communities.
Our Foundation (previously known as the Happy Africa Foundation) helps to independently monitor our projects and provides tools and expertise that help to ensure our sustainability, as well as ensure that donations given by our volunteers are managed responsibly. The African Impact Foundation has also been instrumental in guiding us through the creation of our Child Protection Policy and maintenance of the protocols around it.
Through our close partnership with them, The African Impact Foundation has grown into an organization that has funded numerous initiatives and programs in the communities where African Impact volunteer projects are based. The charity is proud to have financed the building of clinics, crèches and school classrooms, provided communities with education and skills training, and helped beneficiaries improve their wellbeing and quality of life through improved nutrition and the provision of much-needed health equipment.
Each community has its own challenges and opportunities for pathways out of poverty. With our local teams, community committees and expert advisors, we design programs to overcome the hurdles for young people locally.
Together we can set young people up for healthy and opportunity-filled futures.
