Background on Our Work
At the Africa Revival Foundation (ARF), we strive to build social cohesion and solidarity between locals and refugees in South Africa. Although South Africa celebrated the establishment of democracy on April 27, 1994, more than 35 percent of South Africa’s population is unemployed and 55 percent of the population lives below the national poverty line. Impoverished communities struggle with high rates of food insecurity, homelessness, and gender-based violence. In these communities, there is also a refugee humanitarian crisis as residents who are refugees are disproportionately vulnerable to racial and xenophobic attacks as well as social and economic exclusion. Coming from different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, we created the Africa Revival Foundation to unite in the fight against poverty, unemployment, and xenophobia. We envision a socially and economically inclusive African society without hunger, poverty, racism, and xenophobia.
Our Vision
We strive to be an African international model non-profit organization in uniting, unemployed, and vulnerable people in society. We have an overall vision of changing the 'dark face of' of Africa where hunger, poverty, racism, and xenophobia are raging. We aim to transform African society to be inclusive and socially, economically, and spiritually prosperous. We are vehemently against any form of discrimination and therefore, work to transcend barriers to overcome ignorance, xenophobia, poverty, and unemployement.
