Our purpose that guides every program

Mission, vision, and theory of change — the foundation for how Engage Now Africa heals, rescues, and lifts communities across Africa.

01

Mission

ENA's mission is to heal, rescue, and lift our brothers and sisters in Africa. Our purpose is to provide resources and training to vulnerable populations, enabling them to become self-reliant and substantially improve their lives. We accomplish our mission by developing greater capacity in the individuals and communities we serve.

02

Vision

Envisioning a world free of poverty with happy, self-reliant communities made of virtuous individuals and families.

Our Theory of Change

Our theory of change is based on a multi-faceted approach. We design projects and programs focused on addressing the needs of individuals and families vulnerable to poverty, aiming to empower recipients to become self-reliant. We mobilize local assets in collaboration with global partners, government ministers, and tribal leaders to align projects with community needs.
