Self Help Africa is an overseas development organisation that specialises in agriculture and enterprise development.  In 2021, United Purpose, a leading UK-based NGO with a similar mission and vision joined the organisation. United Purpose, which was formerly Concern Universal, has programmes in seven African countries, as well as in Bangladesh and Brazil. Collectively, we will trade as Self Help Africa, with sister organisations Self Help Bangladesh and Self Help Brazil.

Self Help Africa's ability to achieve scale globally is founded on its commitment to both high-quality research and dynamic partnerships. This enables us to innovate programme types across countries, regions and continents, delivering real and measurable results for the world's poor.
