Give Back Africa
Service and community contribution
Promise of Africa wants to raise young people who do not only ask, “What can I get?” but also, “What can I give?” We believe service should be cultivated early, with dignity, humility and partnership at its centre.
Through Give Back Africa, young people will take part in meaningful community-service experiences in Africa and within diaspora communities. Service will never be framed as charity tourism. Young people will learn to listen, learn, contribute and build relationships with communities.
