Empowers Africa

Our mission at Empowers Africa is to support programs in the areas of human empowerment, wildlife protection and land conservation in sub-Saharan Africa.

Our focus is on:

  1. Funding programs in communities that live in proximity to protected conservation and wildlife areas or World Heritage Sites.
  2. Funding programs in urban communities where tourism is a strong source of development.
  3. Funding programs that support the protection of wildlife and land conservation.

At Empowers Africa, we support community-led, measurable and sustainable programs that bolster communities by improving access to education, healthcare and business opportunities. We also support programs that protect wildlife and land conservation because we believe safeguarding Africa’s natural wealth is critical to the empowerment of the surrounding communities.

Short Documentaries

Empowers Africa funds and produces educational documentaries about conservation and human empowerment issues in Africa, with a focus on matters such as: rhino anti-poaching efforts, lion and elephant collaring, education, small business development, and female empowerment.

Fiscal Sponsorship

Empowers Africa serves as a fiscal sponsor to over thirty organizations working on the ground in Africa. Through our 501(c)3 status, we are able to efficiently collect and process donations for some of the most effective changemakers on the continent, allowing them to focus on what’s most important—the work being done on the ground.
