WHO WE ARE

We firmly believe that successful sustainable development in Africa has to start at LOCAL level with
stable and healthy economy, better use of resources, development of skills, training and incentives
for work. Sustainable development and rural economic growth are inextricably linked. Building
sustainable communities is about improvements to the places where people live and work, and giving
them the chance to play their part in shaping change for a sustainable future.

Cooperation and development between local and international partnerships is central to our
philosophy. Being people focused, sustainabilityAFRICA strongly supports partnerships with local
and international institutions, organisations, universities and governments. This partnership is essential
for strategic sustainable development and provides a platform for donors interested in Africa's
sustainability.

sustainablityAFRICA is a unique institute offering multidisciplinary approach to solving rural/village
problems through project work. We firmly believe that the poor impoverished villagers can propel
themselves on a path of sustainable development if they are empowered with practical solutions.

The Institute is currently working in Tala-Kithimani village, Machakos District, in Kenya.
