About Us

This joint effort was so successful – the African Stand won the admiration of almost all the participants. There was a common agreement to sustain the group, out of which the H4A project was birthed in November 2009. The word “Harambee” is a Kiswahili word, that means “all pull together”. It is commonly used to depict people joining hands to build, share or contribute towards a project.

The remaining members of the group: (Fatma-Kenya),(Bisi-Nigeria) and (Tina-Ghana) remain committed to contributing to positive changes in the lives of poor rural women and disadvantaged children from different communities in different parts of Africa. This group of women continue to work selflessly and tirelessly, giving themselves, their time, and financial resources to fundraising in aid of the less privileged in their motherland.

Our inspiration is drawn from the lyrics of Micheal Jackson’s song The Man in the Mirror – “I’m starting with the man in the mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways, if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change’ in our different communities”.

Our aspiration is to give back to our societies and contribute to making poor African societies a better place to live in.
