    About Us

I Heart Africa was co-founded by Chaka (@Chakabars), Ranes and Theodore, after a successful fundraising campaign to keep open an at-risk orphanage in DRC, and subsequent key role in the LoveArmySomalia campaign (raising $2,000,000 in 24 hrs) in 2016.

Spurned on by these successes, I Heart Africa charity was born, with a mission “ to promote holistic self-sustainable development in Africa and its Diaspora, building optimal environments for thriving communities.

I Heart Africa is now building capacity to deliver more of it’s own core work after 5 years mainly voluntary delivery utilising social media influence to build partnerships with local charities and grassroots organisations. Fundraising has been delivered through a combination of no-cost crowdsourcing and by Chaka’s incredible network of private individual donors.
