WHAT WE DO
African Road is driven by our Changemaker partners & their local communities in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, the DRC & Tanzania. This work is built on a foundation of strong friendship and meaningful mentorship. We believe that collaboration, integrity and sustainability are vital to positive change in East Africa. Join us to help make a difference.
ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS SKILLS
Innovated and pioneered by Ugandan Changemaker, David Clemy, VICOBA Plus training, with the support of African Road has steadily expanded across East Africa, community by community. As a result, women and men are learning new skills, but also challenging conventional wisdom and patterns that create further dependence, rather than thriving independence. As a result, whole communities have been liberated into greater self-sustainability. Learn more…
