Welcome to Charities for Africa! Instead of doing a particular country or a certain city for this assignment I focused on ways we can face the ongoing issues in Africa. As we know it, today, Africa is a continent with a great need for help. From civil war to famine to children dying at a young age, Africa is facing many unfortunate events and is reaching out to us for some support. Many of these factors actually play a major role in peoples' lives and it is up to us to lend a hand. This webpage is designed to show you the many different charities that are out there and that are helping the misfortunate in Africa. As you can see, there are many ways in which you can help Africa today.

Exit Poverty Organization

Exit Poverty focuses on the low income people or families in Africa. Mostly dedicated to areas in Kenya, Liberia, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Cote D'Ivoire, this charity helps the less fortunate get a chance to succeed. Hinting from its title, this organization literally helps people escape from poverty. In order to achieve this, Exit Poverty concentrates on the different factors that can lead to great prosperity, such as "creating enterprise opportunities, assisting with the financial crisis in value chains, improving individual equity, supporting high standards of public governance, and inspiring citizens for social change." Their commitment to SMILE (Social return, Member Contribution, Integrity, Leadership, Enforce accountability) really helps the low income sector of Africa and it ensures that a chance will be given to all.
