About Us
Vision
Rural communities in Africa have the mindset, skills, tools and opportunities to achieve lasting prosperity.
Mission
Empowering rural African communities to attain prosperity through a comprehensive 5-year program focused on children and youth.
Core Values
Focus on MVC and Youth and Household Well-Being
Africa Bridge strives to ensure everything we do results in the improvement of the well-being of MVCs/youth and their households.
Listen With Respect
Community participation is central to our focus and our success—we listen to and engage communities in activities like Future Search, monthly co-op and MVCC meetings, and community surveys.
Support Inclusivity
Africa Bridge supports diversity and inclusion across the organization and among our beneficiaries, especially critical considering the leading role women have as caregivers and earners supporting MVCs.
Facilitate Collaboration
Africa Bridge partners with ward and village governments, educators, households, children, and local nonprofits and businesses to achieve our goals effectively and efficiently.
Build on Strengths
Africa Bridge recognizes that the communities we serve have specific strengths that we can leverage to achieve our goals, including knowledge of subsistence agriculture and the fact that every child has a home and at least one adult caregiver.
Adapt as Necessary
We recognize that we operate in a complex setting and our communities are subject to harmful shocks such as agriculture pests, climate change, and COVID-19, and we continuously monitor and adapt our program to respond.
Drive Sustainability
Africa Bridge empowers the Most Vulnerable Children’s guardians, families, and communities to achieve and sustain economic independence.
