Because Only Together We Can
Build a World Where All Women and children are safe, Strong & valued.
Who We Are
We believe that a woman cannot be empowered if she is broken. Healing must precede progress.
The One Project Africa Foundation (OPAF) is a continental, women-centred organisation dedicated to the rehabilitation, healing, and holistic empowerment of women and girls across Africa. We exist to fill the critical gaps left by traditional empowerment models – by tackling the root causes of women’s exclusion and vulnerability, and building pathways for their long-term personal and economic transformation.
We are deliberate in our focus on the forgotten women – those dealing with drug dependency, emotional instability, depression, and post-trauma stress. These women are often left behind by mainstream interventions. OPAF works to bring them back – restored, supported, and equipped to thrive.
