Last year, the Africa Gives project ran a diaspora volunteering mission to Ghana. This year we are looking forward to repeating this exciting opportunity for young Africans in the diaspora!

The purpose of this mission is to create a two-way relationship between Ghana/Nigeria and young Africans in the diaspora by providing opportunities for delegates to directly contribute their time and skills towards the development of Ghana/Nigeria in partnership with young Africans on the continent. Check out some pictures from last year's mission!

“Millions of people in London and across the world send money overseas to people they love, but today too many are paying too much in exorbitant fees and charges to support their families. This Mother’s Day, participating money transfer companies will operate on a ‘No fee, No margin’ basis, and the countdown to World Money Transfer Day will see a range of events aimed at spreading a simple message – people don’t have to be ripped off.”
Tessa Jowell MP
