In recent years, Africa has seen tremendous increases in private funding, resulting in rapid growth for technological advancement, educational resources, and economic growth. However, more philanthropic work is needed from an international and domestic perspective in order to ensure the continued development in Africa and for the continent’s potential to be met.

It is no surprise that political struggles and violence pose major difficulties to smooth philanthropic action. With a wide variety of humanitarian concerns still at the forefront of attention, it is necessary to address these issues at a direct community level with sustainable financial plans to meet the goals of proposed solutions.

Philanthropy towards the continent has resulted in a growing middle class, providing an increase in the pool of actual and potential philanthropists. This is an important factor as it supports a model that encourages philanthropy from within, allowing for a more direct and inclusive approach to development in the continent. An important aspect of philanthropy is that it supports betterment in all aspects of life and society in Africa, addressing issues ranging from food security, to gender equality, and tech.
