Harpenden Spotlight on Africa

Who we are

FORGING LINKS - TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES

Working in partnership with an experienced team on the ground, alongside local government and community leaders, HSoA delivers projects in challenging environments, transforming the lives of some of the poorest people in Africa.

We work in four areas: education, health, clean water and economic development, meeting basic needs and allowing people to build fulfilling lives.

HOW WE WORK

Harpenden Spotlight on Africa is a partnership between a team of volunteers in the UK with responsibility for community links, fundraising, strategic oversight and financial management, and our sister organisation Spotlight on Africa Uganda Foundation, delivering our projects in the Mbale region of Eastern Uganda.

SoA Uganda Foundation is led by experienced local development workers with deep roots in their communities, and excellent working relationships, both with local government at all levels and with other small local and international NGOs.

Our costs are extraordinarily low; UK costs, primarily audit fees, will represent less than 5% of funds raised in the current year, and our team in Uganda works for salaries that are adequate by local standards but a pittance in UK terms, ensuring that your donations get right to the spot.  Our close cooperation with local communities and authorities then maximises value for money on the ground, improving people's lives day by day and pound by pound.
