Advantage Africa  supports the ideas and work of inspirational people in Africa to overcome poverty and disadvantage.  It is a registered charity begun in 2002 by a group of men and women with a wide-ranging experience of international development.





Advantage Africa works in close partnership with determined individuals and community groups, supporting their ideas and plans so that disadvantaged people can improve their lives. This particularly includes people who - alongside poverty -  face prejudice and stigma as a result of disability or HIV/AIDS. We provide encouragement, resources, links and skills training and share a vision with our African partners to contribute towards the improved incomes, health and education of 10,000 people.

Advantage Africa's work to create new opportunities for disadvantaged children to overcome poverty, enjoy their childhood and reach their potential is highlighted in our June 2011 Newsletter.
