SMALL EFFORT,
BIG CHANGES

SOPHOS AFRICA is an idea that matters to Africa. It matters because:

• it focuses on the potential of Africans to solve Africa’s complex problems through African wisdom, leadership, and resources in partnership with global communities.
• it is about a critical assessment of contextual realities and deep reflection on why things are the way they are in Africa.
• it is about stimulating, nurturing, and mobilising a critical mass of change agents and ethical entrepreneurs.
• it is about unleashing genuine and sustainable change in the continent through tackling not only the pandemic of poverty but also societal factors contributing to poverty such as a culture of corruption, ethnic disharmony, and religious intolerance and violence.
• it is about healthy partnerships based on reciprocity rather than power relations based on zero-sum game.

It is because of all this that we have embarked on this journey of hope and imagination towards a free, resilient, and flourishing Africa with strong ethical foundations.
