About Us

Thrive Africa

Thrive Africa is a UK based charity. We work with communities across Africa assisting in their development to provide a more prosperous future. Each community we work with is assessed for its individual needs and we aim to assist in its development through a wide range of self-sustainable educational, health & sanitation projects.

We provide opportunities for communities to develop in a way where the help given is self sustainable, ethical and environmentally friendly. We work with communities to understand their needs and make sure our aid is put to its optimum use.
