ABOUT AFRICA’S GIFT
Africa is where humanity started, where civilisation began. One of humanity’s big breakthroughs is working in partnership, realising that by helping each other, both partners benefit. Working in partnership, developing projects that deliver mutual benefit is what Africa’s Gift is about.
It’s what we do.
Africa’s Gift began life like many community groups and projects. A small group of like-minded people getting together with an idea for making things better. In many ways Africa’s Gift was the original test group for the services and help we now provide. We were given the opportunity to form a relationship with a community group in Malealea, Lesotho. The community group continues to be one of our partners and is now known as the Malealea Development Trust, located at the multi-award winning Malealea Lodge.
Our first community project involved transforming a small piece of turfed land in Royston, South Yorkshire into an eco-friendly sustainable garden powered by solar energy and wind turbines. The experience and knowledge we gained from the project was exchanged with the staff and pupils at the Malealea school. For many of those involved in the project whether they were based in the UK or in Lesotho the project was life-changing.
Our scholarship programme enables such young people to access secondary education; a significant proportion of them then going on to study at University

Volunteering in Africa in 2024 or 2025 is an opportunity to make a significant impact during a time of need. Suitable for volunteers with a range of skills and experience.
