About us

What is AfriDienst?

AfriDienst e.V. is a non-profit organization founded to address the urgent needs of underserved communities in Africa in general and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular, so they can build a future that is more just, solidary, and sustainable through concrete initiatives.

Our mission is to work directly with vulnerable communities to meet their fundamental needs, foster social inclusion, and promote respect for human rights. At a time when equity and sustainability are at the heart of our daily challenges, every initiative is approached in a community-driven, participatory way. The organization supports local initiatives that drive change, strengthens capacities, and builds partnerships for the common good. We make our humble contribution toward building resilient, self-reliant communities.

AfriDienst e.V. aims to be fully transparent, inclusive, and open to every good idea, initiative, and volunteer willing to help us achieve our daily mission.

Our causes

At AfriDienst e.V. we believe that a living environment that is fairer, more solidary, and more sustainable is possible for underserved populations worldwide, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. With this conviction, we work across several major causes that touch directly on human dignity and fundamental rights.

In the most disadvantaged settings, promote access to schooling for children, to vocational training and to the social autonomy of young people, as well as equal access to learning.
