Khayelitsha, South Africa
School in operation
At African Leadership, we don't just build schools—we create safe, nurturing environments where children are fed, empowered, and able to thrive. Our Khayelitsha School is one of the many we have completed, providing quality education and daily meals to students. These schools offer children the opportunity to focus on their studies while giving parents, especially single mothers, the freedom to work and support their families.
Sustainable fish farming
Empowering Communities. Sustaining Futures.
In many communities, limited food access and unstable income go hand in hand. African Leadership addresses both through sustainable fish farming—strengthening food supply while creating reliable livelihoods.
We currently operate four fish farms, each producing approximately 5 tons of fish per year and generating an average annual income of $15,800. These farms help reduce local food costs and provide steady income for pond owners living in severe poverty
Each fish pond costs $5,000 to build, stock, and feed in the first year. Participants raise $2,500, and African Leadership matches the remaining amount. This shared-investment model ensures ownership, accountability, and long-term success.
In Madagascar, fish farming builds on skills gained through construction and entrepreneurship training, creating a clear pathway from learning to income and food security.
Sponsor a Fish Farm
Your gift of $2,500 sponsors half the cost of a fish pond. African Leadership matches your contribution to fully fund the project.
Women’s entrepreneurship class
From survival to success
Many programs train people for jobs. We do more. Our entrepreneur training helps parents—especially women—start and grow their own businesses. Instead of training them for low-wage jobs, we equip them with real skills to help build financial independence— helping entire families escape poverty.
Schools in progress
Growing our impact
Our work doesn’t stop with completed schools. We are actively building more schools to reach even more children in need. These schools are in the process of becoming places where children can learn, grow, and thrive. As we continue to expand, we aim to provide safe, supportive spaces for education and empowerment, strengthening families and communities.
