Women are innovators.

Voices of Africa Foundation is a US registered 501c3 organization founded and run by three American women trained in maternal and public health since 2004. We registered as a federal international non profit in 2011 in the United States. Voices of Africa was originally registered as an NGO in Kenya and a Trust in Tanzania working with partners, youth, and community leaders to establish and grow local capacity.

These small community based organizations and non governmental organizations we have worked with over the past 15+ years have grown into amazing projects for the betterment of their people with an emphasis on girls, youth, and women.

Voices of Africa Foundation now acts as a consulting partner and a fiscal intermediary for these thoroughly vetted projects doing good works in East Africa and beyond.
