About Us

Support Africa is a unique partnership of select charities dedicated to helping children, families, and communities throughout Africa. It is the first African led organization to bring together independent U.K.-based charities focused exclusively on supporting programs in health, education, development, arts and culture, conservation, and wildlife protection in Africa. 



Support Africa educates the UK public about the complex and broad nature of Africa’s problems and the diversity of organizations helping to solve them. It also builds support, understanding and appreciation for the art and cultures of Africa, which underpin the continent’s past, present, and future.


"Education is not a way to escape poverty - It is a way of fighting it."
Julius Nyerere, former President of the United Republic of Tanzania

 

Support Africa enables you to support well-vetted, grassroots projects in Africa. You can browse projects from Africa, give to the ones you are most passionate about, and see the impact of your donations. All the projects on SUPA are in Africa where a small amount of money usually goes a long way.



SUPA Project Vetting
 

Support Africa projects go through different stages of vetting in order to ensure they are charitable in nature and have a social impact. Many projects on the SUPA website come from our project sponsors (UK Charities): respected organisations - of all types and sizes - based in the UK and overseas. These project sponsors provide their own checks on the projects, including on the project involved, financial audits and data collection from appropriate experts. SUPA reviews these checks and procedures as appropriate.

SUPA then collects further documentation - such as organisation and legal documents, financial records, senior staff lists and programme materials - to validate the organisation that is actually running the project. (In many cases the project sponsor and the organisation running the project are actually the same).

Finally, SUPA spends time working through the project details and assessing the final project description with the project organisation before the project is put up live on the site.

Each project partner is then encouraged to submit quarterly progress updates to Suport Africa, including the activities, accomplishments and results of the project so far. These reports are available for donors to access so they can see how their donation is being used and what progress has been made. This creates a dynamic and meaningful relationship between projects and donors.

UK-based NGOs wishing to know more about the vetting process and posting projects on SUPA can contact thenile2@myway.com. NGOs based in other countries can visit http://www.supportafrica.net23.net/1_3_Contact.html
