Harambee promotes educational programmes in Africa and about Africa – developmental projects in the sub-Saharan region and awareness-building activities elsewhere designed to encourage a positive outlook on African culture. In Kiswahili, Harambee means “all for one”. It is the cry of fishermen as they drag their nets ashore. This same word resounds when collective efforts are made for the common good, such as helping a family in need, or building a new school or church.

Everyone does what they can, whether through their own personal efforts, donations in cash or kind, “all for one” – each and every one gives and, in turn, receives. 

Harambee runs projects in Rwanda, South Africa, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Kenya, Cameroon, Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, and Madagascar, and has alloted over $2MM to finance four new projects in 2009-2010.
