Who we are<\/h2>\n

Advance Afrika is a registered not-for-profit non-governmental organization which aims at contributing to a safe and free society that upholds the dignity of every person. We seek innovative approaches for creating sustainable sources of livelihood in order to foster resilience among vulnerable people and social justice in the region.<\/p>\n

We work with vulnerable youth, including but not limited to prison inmates and ex-inmates whom we assist by supporting them with knowledge and skills to seek work, develop decent enterprises and\/or expand their already existing businesses. At the same time, we promote relationships between citizens and authorities in order to improve reciprocal understanding and trust.<\/p>\n
