Advantage Africa’s Director Andrew Betts opens Milestones 18 with an editorial on the theme of dealing with suffering and what fuels our determination to help people fight for justice.

Explore the pages that follow and we hope you’ll be encouraged to read how Advantage Africa is helping people to work their way out of poverty and become self-reliant. People thriving on safe water, protected from malaria, receiving an education, gaining life skills, standing up against sexual abuse, earning an income and feeling included - often for the first time in their lives.

There’s an article about what it means to run a marathon for Advantage Africa and we also highlight the needs of the community in Nanziga and their vision for a better future.
