EDGE of AFRICA started making a direct positive impact on the lives of underprivileged South Africans and the country's environment in 2007. This private organisation has been growing from strength to strength since then and currently boasts the involvement of volunteers from over 20 different nations globally.

Our Ethos is to encourage ethical business by promoting sustainable development through responsible eco-tourism.

EDGE of AFRICA continuously aims to:

• assist with conseration, community and sports initiatives in Africa through volunteer involvement, skills development, empowerment, research, education and manpower.
• raise international awareness of the real situation in Africa - establishing and supporting ethical projects and exposing volunteers to the beauty and resourcefulness of Africa and its people.
• educate the community to recognize the ecological potential of natural areas and the benefits of their preservation. These benefits extend from aesthetics to hard currency from the sustainable utilization of resources. Education is fundamental to this awareness and EDGE of AFRICA places heavy emphasis on this.
