I have followed Chaka Bars on instagram for years now, and the work he does is incredibly uplifting and inspiring. He is highly passionate about providing vital resources to those less fortunate in Africa. His charity I Heart Africa, has provided water to Somalia, built and renovated schools in Congo, Jamaica and Ghana and has gained the support of many celebrities through his amazing work. As a woman of colour and Caribbean heritage, the work I Heart Africa resonates very closely to my heart and although I am not able to go and and help build schools, wells and hospitals for those in less developed countries ( but I intend on doing so with the twins when they are a little bit older), I believe being able to support such a selfless and giving cause is imperative, no matter where you are from.
Who we are
I Heart Africa is a charity driven by a social mission to improve the livelihoods of men, women and children in Africa.
Our values are centred on the promotion of holistic self-sustainable development that creates an environment that is optimal in establishing a thriving community.
We work with orphanages, medical centres, schools and voluntary organisations located in Africa, at present within Congo DRC, Jamaica and Ghana.
At the core we focus on education, healthcare, well-being and infrastructural support by providing training, safeguarding of children, skills nurturing and development through sports and recreational activities. Our vision is nothing less than helping the people we work with realize their full potential through development, growth, and productivity by implementing sustainable programs that will enable them to become self- sufficient. We have a passionate desire to help the people of Africa build a better and brighter future for generations to come.
I Heart Africa is committed to Educating, Enriching and Empowering the people of Africa. The communities we work within often lack access to education, health services, nutritious food or safe places to play. Without these basic necessities it is difficult for individuals, voluntary organisation and families to feel empowered or to better themselves.
We recognise the importance of understanding the unique needs of everyone we work with to effectively and sustainably address complex and critical challenges they face.
Our mission is to implement long term positive change by ensuring our involvement and activities are fit for purpose and where appropriate seek to partner with other organisations in order to unify and strengthen efforts to bring about a positive impact.
