About Self Help Africa <\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1984, Self Help Africa is an international development organisation that works through agriculture and agri-enterprise development to address hunger, poverty, social inequality and the impacts of climate change. We believe that equitable economic development is key to lifting communities out of long-term poverty, empowering them to take control of their futures and improving their quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2023 we launched a new five-year organisation strategy, which defines shared mission as the alleviation of 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our wider organisation also includes social enterprise subsidiaries Partner Africa, which provides ethical auditing and consultancy services, and CUMO, Malawi\u2019s largest micro-finance provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our three core values are:
Impact<\/strong>: We are accountable, ambitious and committed to systemic change.
Innovation<\/strong>: We are agile, creative and enterprising in an ever-changing World.
Community<\/strong>: We are inclusive, honest and have integrity in our relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
