What we do at
Africa No Filter.
Africa No Filter is an advocacy organization that is shifting stereotypical narratives about Africa by supporting storytelling that reflects a dynamic continent of progress, innovation and opportunity. We exist because many stories about Africa still lazily revolve around the single story of poor leadership, poverty, corruption, disease, and conflict, failing to portray the other more progressive side of Africa and collectively perpetuating the narrative that Africa is broken, dependent and lacks agency.
Through Community Building and Advocacy, we support storytellers to help shift these stereotypes because they impact the way the world sees Africa and how Africa sees itself. We are a donor collaborative.
