EDGE of AFRICA was founded in 2007
The main aim at that time was to contribute towards conservation putting emphasis on community-conservation.
Within a year, it became clear that there was a great need in various sectors of the local community for support and specialized assistance. EDGE of AFRICA stepped in and began forming strong bonds with the local people and various organisations. By the end of 2007, we had established community, sports and medical projects which were run solely by the goodwill of volunteers and our small EDGE of AFRICA team. To this day we maintain those strong relationships and our network base is expanding. We have become respected in local communities and act as an umbrella organisation supporting a variety of organisations and individuals.
