Our Causes
A better future begins with access.
Access to education. Access to healthcare. A safe place to call home. The opportunity to build an independent future.
Samaa Charity Projects focuses on initiatives that help address barriers to these essentials, supporting people and communities across Africa.
01 · Education
Every learner deserves the opportunity to learn.
We focus on two foundations of educational access: literacy and scholarships. From helping people develop reading and writing skills to supporting learners who face financial barriers to schooling, our aim is to help make learning more accessible.
- LiteracyReading and writing open doors to knowledge, communication and greater independence. We support opportunities to develop these essential skills and access materials for continued learning.
- ScholarshipsThe cost of schooling can stand between a learner and their education. Our scholarship focus is on helping learners who cannot meet these costs access educational opportunities.
02 · Health
Better health begins with access to care and understanding.
Our health work focuses on sickle cell awareness and support, mental health education, and women's health. We aim to encourage informed conversations, improve access to reliable information and support efforts that help people navigate health challenges with greater understanding.
- Sickle CellAccurate information and greater understanding can help challenge misconceptions about sickle cell disease. Our work includes awareness and support for efforts to help children in Africa living with sickle cell access medical facilities and treatment.
- Mental HealthMental wellbeing deserves understanding, not judgement. We focus on education and awareness that encourage more open conversations about wellbeing and the importance of appropriate support.
- Women's HealthWomen's health is a matter of dignity, knowledge and access. Our focus begins with menstrual health education and supporting efforts to improve access to essential products, including sanitary pads, for those facing financial barriers.
03 · Housing
Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
A safe place to stay provides a foundation for security and stability. Our housing focus, within empowerment, is on developing initiatives that respond to homelessness and help make safe shelter more accessible to people who need it.
04 · Women's Empowerment
More opportunity. Greater independence. Better access.
We focus on women's economic empowerment. Our aim is to support greater economic opportunity and help women pursue financial independence and participate in economic life.
