Pathways Out of Poverty for Youth in Africa

Dear Impact Fam,

Like everywhere, it has been a very challenging time in Southern and Eastern Africa. However, it’s because of the generosity of our donors that we have been able to quickly adjust our plans and continue supporting our communities and teams. Thank you for showing us that it’s possible to make impact from anywhere in the world. We are so for your undying support, whether near or far.

This fight is long from over - daily COVID-19 cases across the continent are still rising, but we hope with you by our side that we will be able to make it through anything that comes our way. To continue helping our communities and teams, please make a donation here. 

In the past 5 months, we have:

• Started the construction of 3 new primary school classrooms in Zambia
• Employed local tailors and our Women’s Group to make 850 masks for students, families, and shop owners in Tanzania and Zambia
• Set up 20 hand-washing stations at schools and in communities in Zambia and Tanzania
• Provided 155 disinfectant packages to community members in South Africa and Tanzania
• Spent three months buying produce from our Farmers of the Future participants and donating it to a local food parcel initiative in South Africa
• Donated books and school supplies to students trying to learn from home in South Africa
• Provided food parcels to 25 members of our partner organizations in South Africa
• Supported the nutrition program at the Langoni Old People’s Home in Tanzania by supplying weekly fruit 
• Held COVID-19 training and awareness workshops to community and family leaders in Tanzania
• Set up a solar hydroponics farming system to prepare for the return of our Farmers of the Future program in South Africa
• Distributed 160 bags of mealie meal (maize) to our Sponsor a Child students and their families
• Supported nursery schools in Tanzania with three months’ worth of porridge for their breakfast program

THANK YOU, a million times over!
