What Drives Us
Our Work in Africa
AFJN received grants for our Women’s Empowerment and the Africa Church Together Against Corruption Projects.
AFJN Women Empowerment Project in Africa
This project assists African Women religious in shaping a new vision of their role in society by working to change the structures that keep people in poverty and deprive them of their dignity as God’s children. It builds and strengthens a coalition of African Women Religious at the local, regional, and continental levels to work for social justice and bring about a needed change.
Africa Church Together Against Corruption Project
This three-year project has mobilized Church leaders to fight corruption and promote just governance in Cameroon, Liberia, and Ghana. AFJN sets out to address corruption in Church-run social services including hospitals, medical facilities, and schools, in collaboration with the local dioceses and communities, to facilitate the development of anti-corruption programs.

How You Can Get Involved
AFJN acts as a voice to inform and motivate people to take action in their local communities and internationally. We work closely with many constituents on the ground all over Africa as well as with individuals and congregations in the US. We have three levels of organizing that you can get involved in:
Grassroots Organizing and Advocacy
Spreading knowledge and gaining widespread support is so important to changing mindsets and influencing our policymakers. You can attend or host an event to raise awareness and educate your community on situations in Africa that need our attention.
Individual and Congregational Advocacy
Both individuals and congregations are important to spreading our mission and supporting the work we do – in fact, we can’t do it without you!
Political Advocacy
While community-based organizing is very important, there are other barriers that prevent the spread of justice. We focus on advocating for policy changes in our government that support a more just and peaceful world.
