About Self Help Africa  <\/p>

Self Help Africa (SHA)<\/strong> is an international development organisation headquartered in Dublin, Ireland and dedicated to the vision of \u2018Sustainable livelihoods and healthy lives for all in a changing climate\u2019. <\/strong>We have over 50 years of experience working in Africa, including 25 years in Nigeria (formerly as United Purpose and Concern Universal).

<\/span><\/p><\/p>

<\/p>

In 2021, Self Help Africa merged with United Purpose (UP), doubling our size. The organisation now works in 17 programme countries. 15 of these are in sub-Saharan Africa while subsidiary organisations, \u2018Self Help Brazil\u2019 and \u2018Self Help Bangladesh\u2019, have been created for our programmes in the two countries where we are working outside of Africa.<\/p>

In early 2023, we launched a new five-year organisation strategy, which outlines our mission of alleviating hunger, poverty, social inequality and the impact of climate change through community-led, market-based and enterprise-focused approaches, so that people can have access to nutritious food, clean water, decent employment and incomes, while sustaining natural resources.\u00a0<\/p>

Our wider organisation also includes social enterprise subsidiaries: Partner Africa – which provides ethical auditing and consultancy services, TruTrade – an innovative trading platform in East Africa, and CUMO – Malawi\u2019s largest micro-finance provider. <\/p>

<\/p>

Our three core values are: <\/p>

\u25aa Impact:<\/strong> We are accountable, ambitious and committed to systemic change. <\/p>\n\n

\u25aa Innovation<\/strong>: We are agile, creative and enterprising in an ever-changing world. <\/p>\n\n

\u25aa Community<\/strong>: We are inclusive, honest and have integrity in our relationships.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p><\/div>

To achieve our organisational mission, we work across numerous sectors, such as Agriculture, Climate & Environment, Energy, Enterprise, Nutrition, and Water Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH). <\/p>
