Our Future
What begins with a miracle is destined for glorious work.
Building our “Forever Campus”
Trust for Africa has never had a permanent place to call home. In 2019 the Mohale’s Hoek Urban Council donated a 5407 square meter (1.3 acre) site to Trust for Africa. It was a miraculous, jaw-dropping gift that honors the commitment and impact that Trust for Africa continues to make in the nation of Lesotho. We have long wanted our own permanent site, which is not easy to acquire. This gift said to us, “It’s time!”

An Epicenter for Change
The new campus will exponentially grow our capacity to serve more children and families in crisis. Will you help us to build a place where hearts are healed, families are restored, and children can be children again?
“
Like a beating heart that both receives and sends, our vision is to be a campus that both welcomes those in need of services, and also trains and sends out upskilled, passionate social workers and “way makers.” The campus will be a place where parents and professionals will be trained and equipped to raise resilient children, stronger families, and engaged communities.
— Naomi Schalm, Executive Director
