African Road builds long term relationships with local Changemakers, for the life, health and growth of communities in East Africa.

We, as a non-profit organization, and as friends and partners, come alongside Changemakers through collaborative project development and strategic funding.

You are invited to join the growing story of community-led transformation. 

Thank you to everyone who joined in for African Road’s first-ever Festival Fun Run!

This was a one-of-a-kind event, blending the best parts of a 5K walk/run and an entertaining festival. Thank you to everyone who joined in, walked/ran the 5k, purchases raffled tickets, shopped the Marketplace, toured the Learning Stations, and supported African Road’s work through this fantastic day at the park. With nearly 150 guests, this was truly an event to remember!
