Overview

One Question, Countless Answers

Twenty organizations involved in the myriad of causes related to Africa were asked a seemingly simple question: "Why save Africa?" The result was an unprecendented book composed of a collection of compelling perspectives from around the world. 

Hope for Africa is made up of short essays from large, internationally recognized non-profits; small grassroots charities; and everything in between. These groups have responded to the question with extraordinary vigor and compassion that will inform and inspire you. Additionally, Hope for Africa features true stories and testimonials from individuals who explain, in their own voices, why they have been drawn to helping this land. 

This eye-opening book also gives back—a portion of the proceeds from Hope for Africa will be donated to the contributing charities.
