Network For Africa

Network for Africa is a charity which helps to rebuild lives and communities destroyed by war and genocide. We tackle the long-term psychological and economic consequences that remain after the emergency aid agencies have moved on.

Network for Africa facilitates projects that promote development in African countries, including financial and community development that leads to the empowerment of individuals, particularly women and children.

Our projects focus especially on education and health. We believe that by equipping poor and vulnerable people with the tools to help themselves, they can begin to lift themselves out of poverty.

Led by a team of psychotherapists, teachers, nurses and human rights campaigners we train local people, equipping them with vital skills and experience so they can provide a future for themselves, their family and their communities.

We target people who are already helping themselves, partnering with local African groups and other UK charities.

Our teams began working in Rwanda, and have since been asked to help in Uganda, Darfur and Chad.

Our approach is based on studies surveying what local people believe is needed in their area.

Network for Africa believes that development projects are most successful when they are informed by local needs as expressed by people in the community.

For example, while some orphans or widows wish to have classes in literacy, health, hairdressing or car maintenance, others want to learn to use computers or accounting methods.

Network for Africa aims to benefit all people in the communities where we work, regardless of race or religion.

Network for Africa is a charity registered in the UK 1120932, and has public charity status in the USA.
