Picture of school childrenAdvantage Africa supports people affected by poverty, disability and HIV to improve their education, health and incomes. Our work helps some of East Africa’s most vulnerable people to overcome stigma, help themselves and build a better future for their families and communities.

We’re helping disabled children attend school for the first time, people living with HIV access life-saving medicines, single-parent families earn an income to meet their basic needs. These practical projects provide some of Africa’s most vulnerable families with life-changing opportunities and real hope for the future.
