“Africa Foundation works with people in rural communities,
and not for people”
Lance Japhet, Chairman, Africa Foundation

Our philosophy is simple – we believe communities are most effectively
helped only if they are empowered to help themselves. We therefore
work in tandem with communities and encourage them to take ownership
of all projects to ensure sustainability.
In essence, Africa Foundation’s philosophy and approach
can be summed up in the following five pillars:-
1. Grounded in community participation
Africa Foundation empowers communities adjacent to conservation areas,
by working with them to identify their social, economic, health and
welfare development needs,
and to plan effective strategies for addressing those needs, on an
ongoing basis.
2. Driven by local champions
Africa Foundation identifies local community members who can take
charge of a project, and who will assist and leverage the implementation
of effective and sustainable projects.
3. CC Africa as the major partner
Africa Foundation supports CC Africa’s success in the people/land/animals
balance, and provides CC Africa with effective and sustainable community
development results.
4. Guests as development partners
Africa Foundation offers CC Africa guests the opportunity to make
a lasting contribution to the people of Africa’s conservation
areas.
5. Stable organisation
Africa Foundation maintains a strong organisational base, with the
ability to evaluate, fund and monitor projects at steadily increasing
levels.

“The
Africa Foundation is absolutely integral to CC Africa’s sustainable
business model. It also inspires the hearts and minds of our employees
throughout Africa, most of whom come from these rural conservation
communities”
