Our First Chapter Begins
2025 marks the beginning of our mission to connect skilled Africans in the diaspora with purpose-driven organizations on the continent. This page shares the early work we’ve done, what we’ve learned, and what comes next.
The Problem We’re Solving
Millions of Africans in the diaspora want to give back, but the path to doing so is unclear. Meanwhile, many African organizations need expert guidance and global support.
Diaspora Corps exists to bridge that gap through smart, meaningful matchmaking.
A Clear Operating Model
We’ve defined how skilled diaspora professionals can plug into African organizations—virtually or on-ground—through short-term placements, mentorship, and strategic advisory roles.
Foundational Partnerships
We’ve engaged with early partners, including grassroots nonprofits and development-focused institutions, to co-create a system that meets real needs on both sides.
Platform Prototype
Our first version of the Diaspora Corps platform is live, serving as a matchmaker between vetted diaspora talent and host organizations with specific needs.
Community & Credibility
We’ve begun building a trusted ecosystem with early advisors, pilot participants, and diaspora professionals who believe in the vision and want to shape the future with us.
Our Vision for Impact
What We Aim to Achieve
Even in this first year, our north star is clear:
