FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 
What does it mean to be an "all volunteer" organization? 
The Africa Project is made up of a group of talented community leaders, business professionals and young people who donate their time, resources, and expertise to The Africa Project.  And since we do not pay staff to coordinate our efforts, we are able to direct the donations we receive to the community based programs in Africa that we support.
 
How does The Africa Project operate without paid staff?
We are a working Board of Directors, supported by a strong volunteer Youth Board and our volunteer Ambassadors.  Again, these community leaders, business professionals, and young people are all deeply committed to this community based effort.
 
What programs and services are supported by The Africa Project?
The Africa Project focuses on the most basic needs first.  These are food, healthcare, education.  In order to do this, we identify service providers already working in Nkandla.  Then we ask them how we can help them do more of what they do, better. 
 
Who pays for your group to travel to Nkandla?
Members of The Africa Project do not fundraise to pay for travel expenses.  Each member who visits Nkandla is responsible for the cost of their transportation and accommodations.
The Africa Project is governed by an all volunteer Board of Directors.
