Our History

In 2010, the Africa Renewal Foundation was founded in the township of Capricorn. Initially, the community organization focused on providing nutrition for children by establishing a soup kitchen and preventing unhealthy activities such as substance abuse and underage sex by introducing youths to cross-cultural and athletic activities. When the organization’s property was overtaken by private landlords, the organization suffered and collapsed. In 2019, the Africa Renewal Foundation was revived as the Africa Revival Foundation (ARF) and registered as a Non-Profit Organization. The ARF continues to build upon the community-based work started in 2010 while also pursuing a legal project aimed at protecting the legal rights of refugees.
