Description of Organization:
Innovation: Africa is a New York based 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to bring Israeli solar, water and agricultural technologies to rural African villages. Since its founding in 2008, Innovation: Africa (iA) has completed over 150 solar installations bringing light, access to clean water, improved education, refrigeration for vaccines and medicines, and proper nutrition and food security to over 1 million people in the most remote villages in Africa. iA currently operates in eight countries: Uganda, Malawi, Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal and Cameroon.
Our mission is to do all of this, while promoting a positive image of Israel around the world.

Bnai Mitzvah Projects or Volunteer Opportunities offered by the organization for children ages 10 – 13:
Everyone wants to make the world a bit brighter. That’s why Innovation: Africa created Mitzvah Campaigns — to let everyone make a difference. Bar and Bat Mitzvah kids from across the globe have celebrated by raising funds and awareness for Innovation: Africa’s projects on the ground. We set them up with a custom fundraising page, weekly fundraising updates, educational resources, fundraising ideas, more. Our custom campaigns make it easy for you to fundraise, and 100% of the money donated will be spent on our direct project costs. To learn more about our custom campaigns, click below: http://innoafrica.org/get-involved.html
We have even had Mitzvah campaigners travel to Africa to see the impact of their fundraising efforts in action.
We also have partnerships with schools where students learn about Israeli technologies and how they are saving thousands of lives in Africa, watch this to learn more: http://innoafrica.org/emily-yaari
We also have student advocates on campuses nationwide who use our work to change the conversation about Israel by showcasing how Israeli technologies are making the world a better place. Make sure to follow us on social media as well and join our following of over 500,000 people worldwide!
