About CorpsAfrica

CorpsAfrica provides Africans the opportunity to serve as Volunteers for ten months in rural, underserved communities in their own countries to facilitate small-scale, high-impact projects identified by local people and funded by partners from Africa and around the world. Currently, CorpsAfrica operates in Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, The Gambia, Ghana, Senegal, Malawi, Ivory Coast, Morocco and South Africa.
