Challenge

Many millions of people in East Africa continue to live in chronic poverty, excluded from the benefits of economic growth. Among the most vulnerable people of all are those affected by disability (including albinism) and HIV, who are often disregarded, stigmatised and denied their basic human rights so that they lack self-worth, opportunity and hope. Recent COVID-19 lockdowns have affected such people disproportionately and left many families without livelihoods, hungry, and in despair.

Solution

Our vision is for the most vulnerable children, women and men in East Africa to be respected, free from poverty, discrimination and fear and have appropriate education, good health and sustainable livelihoods. We're working with nine partner organisations in Kenya and Uganda to provide practical support for vulnerable people, including wheelchairs for people with disabilities and income-generating activities for single parent families, so they can have better, more self-reliant lives.

Long-Term Impact

Your support will have an immense long-term impact: it will enable Advantage Africa's Programme Managers to work alongside our local partner organisations, building their skills and capacity to meet the needs of vulnerable people and tackle discrimination, exploitation and abuse. It will fund education and advocacy to change attitudes, policies and practices that keep people at risk and in poverty. Finally, it will ensure Advantage Africa's life-changing work is sustained long into the future.
