GRO West Africa

is committed to improving the lives of disadvantaged children and adults in Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

We support various local agricultural projects (the engine of our activities) and projects in education, supporting libraries, and providing relief supplies. In the future, we also plan to initiate projects for providing basic medical care and microcredits. In doing so, we contribute to several of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals:

1. No Poverty

2. Zero Hunger

4. Quality Education

5. Gender Equality

8. Decent Work and Economic Growth

10. Reduced Inequalities

The ultimate goal is to establish local social 'ecosystems' where the agricultural projects become self-sufficient and provide for the social initiatives in education, medical aid, and microcredits.

Our projects thereby create opportunities and positive change in the lives of those who need it most. That is already hidden in the name of the foundation...

How can I donate?

Tip: Tax Benefits for Private Donors and Corporate Donors/Sponsors

We are designated by the Dutch Tax Authorities (Belastingdienst) as a Public Benefit Organisation (ANBI) (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling). This means that at least 90% of our efforts are dedicated to the public good, making your support fiscally extra attractive.

Thanks to our ANBI status, you as a private individual or a company can benefit from tax advantages on your donations or sponsorship contributions. This allows you to either give more for the same net cost or give the same amount at a lower net cost to you. Read more about this here.
