The Charity Awards 2007 - Winner
Enterprising solutions to poverty
Africa Now helps farmers and small businesses produce and sell better products. By supporting their own hard work and creativity, Africa Now offers a 'hand-up' rather than a 'hand-out', providing people with a future of opportunity, not charity. We assist with finance, training, technology and securing a fair price for their goods.
Africa Now not only helps producers expand their existing product range, but also provides training on new innovations and technologies, links to local banks for loans, and assistance in seeking out reliable markets where their products can be sold.
We also provide auditing services to companies seeking to be more socially responsible in their business dealings in Africa with the aim of improving the lives and working conditions of local factory and farm staff. > Read more
