Empowering Africa’s Future - Sustainably, Faithfully, and Locally

SIFA MILELE AFRICA is a faith-inspired social enterprise working to regenerate rural communities across Africa through locally-led, sustainable transformation. Rooted in the vision of St. Daniel Comboni - “Saving Africa with Africans” - we design and implement high-impact programs that restore dignity, improve livelihoods, and protect the environment for generations to come.

We believe Africa’s future will not be shaped by aid or dependency, but by its people: resourceful, resilient, and ready.

What We Do

SIFA builds scalable, replicable systems that support communities across five pillars:

☀️ Renewable Energy 

Through our solarization program, we are lighting up schools, seminaries, hospitals, technical training institutes, pastoral centres, convents, churches and other facilities at parishes — using affordable financing models.

🌾 Sustainable Agriculture

• We manage institutional farms, turning underutilized land into productive, profitable agri-enterprises.

• We support smallholder farmers with everything they need to succeed — financing, inputs, agronomy, aggregation, markets; and anchor them in model farm hubs designed for replication.

🧱 Climate-Smart Infrastructure

We promote affordable, eco-friendly construction using Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSBs), reducing deforestation and enabling communities to build resilient structures.

🏪 Youth SME Empowerment

We promote small and micro enterprises that are 100% locally owned and value-driven - with a special focus on the youth.

🛠️ Institutional Strengthening

We embed strategic and operational support into every project — ensuring strong governance, accountability, and sustainability through professional systems and oversight.

Our Values

• Dignity – We affirm the inherent dignity of every person, ensuring all individuals are respected, valued, and empowered.

• Sustainability – We are committed to practices that protect the environment, preserve resources, and promote long-term well-being for all.

• Justice – We seek fairness and equity in all aspects of social transformation, advocating for systems that uplift the poor and marginalized.

• Solidarity – We stand in unity with the people we serve, working together for collective well-being, mutual support, and community empowerment.

• Integrity – We operate with transparency, honesty, and accountability in all our interactions and initiatives.

• Innovation – We embrace creative solutions and forward-thinking approaches to drive meaningful, sustainable change in communities.

We work closely with dioceses and private sector partners to activate community transformation from within.
