African Grassroots hasn't added a story.
Anyone from the 80’s remember the song “We are the World”?
Anyone remember how much we were told it was our job in the west to ‘save’ Africa?
For years the western world has attempted to determine what was best for countries in Africa. Not only that, it was usually lumped in as “Africa”. Let’s get water to Africa. Let’s get food to Africa. It’s our duty!!
The world has changed and many Change Makers all over African countries have spoken that yes, help is needed, but let THEM decide what type of help is needed.
That’s how African Grassroots Canada was formed, not as a ‘west giving money, but through listening and now collaborating on making sustainable changes, one community at a time. Not one country, one community!
We aim to provide intensive supports that help fill identified gaps and to be on the ground, working alongside the organizations in the ways they have identified they are in need.
The funds raised here will flow through HERA Mission Canada to assist with Sustainable funding to all three communities.
We are raising money for:
A social enterprise hall for children in Mazabuka, Zambia. This is a one-time sustainable fund that will allow the hall to exist for years to come. This will help them with education, health care, and more! The hall will be rented out for weddings and social gatherings on weekends!
Social Sustainable Development in Busia, Kenya. This has been a five-year project that has included a gap analysis on current programming and where money would be sustainable for the future for the youth and women. This is epic work done by African Grassroots and we are proud to be a Canadian group fundraising for them.
The on-going amazing work of Hera Mission of Canada.
These are all great causes and frankly, Canada NEEDS a good news story. We NEED to come together so I encourage more to join the movement of listening then acting!
