COVID-19 arrived in Africa in late February 2020, and its effects have been felt throughout the continent
For Africa Foundation (AF), this crisis necessitated a new set of priorities to build the resilience of the vulnerable rural communities neighbouring our lodges, and the AF COVID-19 Campaign was created comprising six areas of focus: clinic support, water access, food assistance, business support, school PPE and classrooms. Many of these are short to medium term initiatives outside Africa Foundation’s standard focus, in which case they are working with other stakeholders and existing food banks.
