Vision
A society where everyone has equitable access to opportunities, quality services, and the support needed to live healthy, dignified, and productive lives.
Who We Are
At Carifika Network for Sustainable Development (CNSD), we turn the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into action — tackling poverty, promoting quality education, improving health, advancing gender equality, protecting the environment, and building sustainable livelihoods.
We’re proud to partner with the Africa Career Networks (ACN) and African Leadership Academy (ALA) on the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Project, delivering mentoring and career development for Scholars in Rwanda, The Gambia, and Cameroon.
Our African Footprint
Carifika’s impact extends across multiple African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Madagascar, South Africa, Zambia, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Burundi, The Gambia, and Cameroon.
We anchor our work in the Sustainable Development Goals, using targeted programs that support education, health, inclusion, climate action, and strong institutions across Africa.
