River Africa (rural Investment In Vocational Education And Rehabilitation)

RIVER AFRICA aims to reduce the extreme suffering caused by chronic poverty. Including economic inactivity, and marginalisation, preventable and treatable diseases in hard-to-reach rural areas of Sub-Sahara Africa. We aim to achieve this through the provision of interventions generated and engendered through intensive contributions from local community members and organisations.

The Districts that River Africa is working in and has links in are classed as Hard-to-Reach areas, due to a multiplicity of barriers to accessing both primary and secondary health care, education, paid work and other social goods. 

These areas have some of the lowest literacy rates, the worst geographical terrains; the poorest rates for malnutrition; water and sanitation; access to health and education.

They have high proportions of Hard-to-Reach populations; are considered the least developed and poorest Districts in their respective countries. Zimbabwe (Mbiri district), Malawi (Chisi Island)
