Partner with us to flatten the curve of poverty and marginalisation during this pandemic.
We now live in a world where COVID-19 is evenly distributed, but the equal opportunity to fight it is not.
422 million people living in poverty on the African continent are facing the greatest risk of their lives. While the health & economic effects of COVID-19 ripple throughout the world, COVID threatens to plunge 1 in 3 Africans into the deep end of poverty. Join us to create COMMUNITY IMMUNITY.
We know the safety of those in our most marginalized communities is our collective immunity.
Yet awareness of our connection with our vulnerable sisters and brothers is almost non-existent.
To respond to this crisis, Africa Philanthropy Network, Southern Africa Trust and TrustAfrica have embarked upon a coordinated campaign that will raise awareness and funding to support those living at the margins of society.
