WELCOME TO AFRICA’S GIFT
Africa’s Gift is a charity registered in England. Our work has had charitable status since 2008 and more recently we have the validation of becoming an Environmental Partner of the 1% For Planet ……. Wording approved by the branding guidelines!
We are a charity that puts education for sustainable development into practical action. Growing food and medicinal plants through regenerative farming, Enabling community members to make nutritious meals with heat retentive cook bags and capturing water via permaculture and restorative planting are what makes us smile.
We work collaboratively in the joyous Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho and throughout Southern Africa. We have a powerful connection in Uganda and are developing new partnerships elsewhere.
We actively encourage community members from the Global North to come with us and immerse themselves within our wonderfully welcoming communities. Volunteers return with what we call Africa’s Gift – an overwhelming sense of humanity, community and priority! Not all the changing of lives happens to those in the Global South- we can learn a great deal about ourselves from a sensitive interaction in Africa!

Chairman – Africa’s Gift
Lesotho, the breathtaking landlocked Kingdom encircled by South Africa, is a country of resilience and beauty. Yet today, over 30% of its population suffer from physical and cognitive stunting caused by daily exposure to smoke from cooking over open fires using fuel wood.
In Uganda, we invite you to be part of a unique initiative blending conservation, anthropology, and community empowerment. We’re expanding our pocket forest pharmacy and coffee agroforestry project by reclaiming overused eucalyptus plantations and transforming them into productive, healing landscapes.
Far from Nigeria’s bustling cities, in the coconut groves and wild coastlines of the southwest, a historic project is underway. Here, we are launching a large-scale production of eco cook bags—fabricated from local coconut fibres and designed to provide clean cooking alternatives.
