The Africa Project is a non-profit organization based in Costa Mesa, California, founded in 2005 when residents of Irvine organized to help AIDS-affected children in Africa. It pursues a community-focused, grassroots approach that concentrates support on programs and services for children in Nkandla, South Africa. The organization directs its resources toward direct services on the ground in Africa to ensure aid reaches those in need. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors whose members travel to Nkandla each year to assess needs and maintain relationships with local stakeholders and service providers. The organization operates with a small staff and relies on volunteer leadership to guide its mission. The board's annual visits to Nkandla illustrate a hands-on approach to understanding local needs and ensuring alignment with community stakeholders.
