Cost effectiveness

Self Help Africa works at grassroots level with an all-African staff and local partners, employing an approach that is both cost effective and sustainable.

Our commitment to working in partnership, and to tailoring our work to the real needs of the people with whom we work, is at the heart of the success of our programmes over the past quarter century.

By promoting and supporting simple and effective innovations to farming, managing natural resources, and helping people access basic services like clean water and sanitation, we have been able to transform the lives of communities.

Celebrating achievement

The achievements of Self Help Africa are first and foremost the achievements of the people we work with.

The small-holding farmers who are now self-sufficient in food production and even producing surpluses, the women who have set up small home businesses, the local villagers who no longer have to carry water for long distances, and the communities who finally have the means to live life free from poverty and need - are just some of the success stories that we have shared in celebrating.

We are privileged to work with local people and communities whose efforts, energy, resourcefulness and dedication have enabled them to bring clear, and measurable improvements to their lives.

The stories here are just a sample - from people and communities in Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Togo, Uganda and Zambia with whom we have been working.

These short accounts provide a window into our work, and a window into the lives of communities who are overcoming adversity and disadvantage, to provide a better lives for themselves, their families, and for the generations to come.
