Why Africa?

Africa is rich in culture, community, and potential, but millions of families face daily challenges that threaten their ability to thrive. At Ten Thousand Homes, we believe every family deserves the chance to live in safety, with dignity, and with hope for the future.

553M

Of the 1.1 billion people worldwide living in poverty, over half—553 million—are in Sub-Saharan Africa.

$2.15

1 in 3 people in Africa survive on less than $2.15 a day, the international poverty line.

317M

317 million children in Sub-Saharan Africa are growing up in poverty.

1 in 5

1 in 5 people face hunger every day.

504M

504 million people in Africa lack access to safe, adequate housing.

60%

In 2023, nearly 60% of individuals across Africa experienced moderate or severe food insecurity, almost double the global average.

But these numbers aren’t the end of the story.

In every community we serve, we meet resilient families, dedicated local leaders, and the potential for transformation.

By investing in Africa, you’re not just responding to urgent needs—you’re partnering in a story of hope. You’re helping build homes, deliver meals, and create lasting change, one family at a time.
