A stand for all who love Africa - imagine the effect on a global level

Standing up for Africa

“One in six African children dies before the age of five. Most of these deaths could be prevented.”

(Source: Africa 2015)

At Stand up for Africa, we don’t think that’s an acceptable figure. Our work focuses on community-led projects in Africa working to improve access to education, health and wellbeing. Our initiatives and projects work to promote and protect the rights of young people and women in some of Africa’s poorest countries, and provide opportunities for income generation.

We complement this practical support by engaging with young people here in the UK to build awareness of development issues and enable young people to develop their own skills and capabilities, while positively influencing the wellbeing and welfare of young people in Africa.

We are standing up against child poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare.
