Founder’s Message


“I began as a public defense lawyer for survivors of gender-based violence. Charity can help, but only justice transforms lives.

Lift Africa exists to make justice accessible, accountable, and alive in communities — so that no girl, no survivor, and no citizen is left behind.”

   - Aisha Hamman, Founder & CEO
