IT takes
a village.
We are Serve to Empower Africa.
Since there's no one single cause of poverty, we can't take a one-size-fits-all approach to eliminating it. Our strategy must be rooted in cultural understanding.

WE'VE GOT HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE.

EMPOWERMENT programs.
At the heart of our organization, our Empowerment Programs cultivate the resources, skills, assets and opportunities needed for socioeconomic stabilization and growth.
HEALTHCARE
Along with establishing access to primary healthcare and local providers, we prioritize providing information on preventative measures and raising personal health awareness in families.
S.E.A strategically partners with health institutions to carry out health awareness campaigns in impoverished villages, making critical health information available.
EDUCATION
In the areas we serve, access to primary education is unevenly distributed and based solely on the families' ability to afford schooling for their children. This inequality in family income and social status has an irrevocable impact on a child’s future and their own capacity to escape poverty.
While families are within our programs, we support their children by covering the cost of their education, further ensuring the family's prosperity.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Through our community partnerships and networks, we're able to connect families with local socioeconomic groups and identify relevant economic opportunities suited to their abilities, strengths, and circumstances.
Boosting community connections and creating reliable sources of income creates a foundation of socioeconomic stability for families to build upon.

WATER + SANITATION
Access to food, water and sanitation is pivotal to lifting a family out of rural poverty. Our most primary focus for the families we serve is to secure a sustainable source of clean water, increasing their opportunities for sanitation, health, nutrition, and more.
In situations where water cannot be sourced, we build and install fresh water storage facilities.
COMMUNITY TIES
Cultural and societal norms can leave impoverished families in a state of isolation from their community.
Our focus within this complex aspect of rural poverty is to create pivotal community connections for families and emphasize the importance of their roles within their villages. This is a unique service we're able to provide as a grassroots organization with ties to these communities.
