What We Do

Five programs, one community-led model

Every initiative starts with a local CBO, school, or community group identifying the need — JOFA brings the resources and structure to make it stick.

HOW WE WORK

We strengthen community groups, fund real needs, and build capacity so CBOs can deliver locally-driven solutions — not one-off handouts.

Our Priorities
We organize and strengthen community groups so residents can identify priorities and lead local solutions, from tree-planting days to dignity-kit drives.
Skills training, financial inclusion, and livelihood initiatives help households build sustainable incomes beyond one-time aid.
After-school mentoring, school-supply distributions, and youth sport programs like JOFA FC are targeted where they matter most.
Green Action tree-planting and girls' dignity & health distributions protect both the land and the wellbeing of the next generation.
