Africa Day is an annual event to celebrate African unity and culture held on the 25th<\/sup> of May.  It has been celebrated around the world since 1963 and commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).<\/p>

This year\u2019s theme is the same as last year\u2019s: SilencingTheGuns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa\u2019s Development and Intensifying the Fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic.<\/p>

At Self Help Africa we\u2019re committed to celebrating the diversity of the African continent while reflecting upon the common challenges that remain; particularly in relation to Covid-19, climate change, agriculture and gender equality.<\/p>

To celebrate Africa Day this year, we\u2019re inviting you to Join Team Green Self Help Africa for just \u20ac5. For every \u20ac5 raised by Team Green, we’ll plant a tree in Ireland and 10 trees in Africa! <\/p>
