Action Africa Help International (AAH-I) is an African-led, Africa-focused international non-governmental organization that has been working with communities in Africa for over 30 years. Our goal is to sustainably improve the quality of life for the most marginalized and vulnerable groups, including women, children, and youth. We believe in empowering communities to become self-reliant and resilient, and we work as facilitators to support their efforts.

Our approach is to identify and develop programs that are relevant to their needs, promote ownership, and ensure sustainability. We specifically target refugees, urban and rural poor, and people living in hard-to-reach areas. At AAH-I, we prioritize women, girls, and youth because they hold promise and are the hope of their communities.

We use a graduation model to help individuals at the bottom of the social economic pyramid empower themselves and live dignified lives. We have extensive experience working in the Horn of Africa, East Africa, and Southern Africa, with programs in countries such as South Sudan, Uganda, Zambia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, and Kenya. Our core values drive our work, including passion for ensuring all communities live dignified lives, a commitment to innovation and sustainable solutions, a community-centered approach that involves communities in finding solutions, integrity in all we do, and a dedication to excellence in achieving outstanding results.

Our programs focus on key areas such as food and income security, health, education, life skills, disaster risk reduction and management, and organizational effectiveness. We also prioritize cross-cutting issues such as gender equality, environmental sustainability, and human rights. We attribute our success to strong partnerships with NGOs, research bodies, academia, government, and private sector partners.

These collaborations have helped us deliver a portfolio of successful contracts, grants, and research projects. We are always open to cultivating new partnerships and alliances with organizations and individuals who share our vision of making a difference in the lives of the communities we serve. At AAH-I, we greatly appreciate the support we receive from generous individuals, foundations, corporations, and government entities.

These contributions directly support our programs and have transformed livelihoods across the African continent. When you support AAH-I, you are making a lasting investment in the betterment of communities in need
