Who we are
About
Lift Africa Foundation
Lift Africa Foundation is a youth-led civil society organization advancing social justice, gender equality, and accountable governance across Africa.
Founded in 2018, Lift Africa bridges the gap between law, policy, and lived realities — turning community experiences into reforms that protect rights, empower women and youth, and strengthen democratic institutions.
We work through a combination of grassroots legal empowerment, policy advocacy, and civic leadership development, ensuring justice is not just promised in law but practiced in people’s everyday lives.
Our Philosophy
Charity alone cannot fix structural injustice. We believe that justice must be accessible, accountable, and community-driven.
Our Approach Intergrates
Law
defending rights through legal aid, litigation, and advocacy.
Policy
influencing governance and institutional reform.
Civic Power
equipping young people and citizens to demand accountability and shape the systems that affect them.
Our Mission
We use law, civic engagement, and community action to confront systemic injustice, strengthen gender equality, and empower citizens — especially women and youth — to hold institutions accountable.
Vission
An Africa where justice is lived — not promised — and every woman, child, and community thrives with dignity and equal opportunity.
Our Core Values
- Justice — We believe in fairness, dignity, and equal protection for all.
- Integrity — Transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership guide our work.
- Courage — We speak truth to power and confront systems that harm.
- Inclusion — Every voice matters, especially the most vulnerable.
- Empowerment — Communities must lead their own transformation.
