Every Purchase Creates Change in Africa.
When you buy from Africa Imports, you're not just growing your business—you're changing lives. Half of our profits go directly to helping orphaned and vulnerable children across Africa. We also support the African makers and communities who create your products by providing a fair, sustainable income.
Every order matters, no matter the size. Your $75 wholesale order feeds 10 children. Your $750 shipment supports a teacher for a month. You're already doing business with purpose.
Nelson Mandela
Safety and security don’t just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
We guarantee that at least half of our profits will be used to make a difference in the lives of kids like these.
Meet some of the people who your purchases support
None of us can fix all these problems on our own. But together, you and we can make a big difference for some of these children.
In Chipwa, Zambia: A nurse uses funds from your purchases to provide medical care and check the temperatures of babies in a rural clinic where basic healthcare was nearly impossible to access.
In Congo: Children from extremely poor areas now receive extra food on a regular basis. These kids often had no other reliable source of nutrition before your support arrived.
Across multiple locations: Children who were living in dangerous situations now stay in much safer environments, attending school instead of surviving on the streets.

Our Impact in Numbers
Since 2007: Over $2 million donated directly to Africa, and 50% of profits given to charity every yearÂ
 In 2021: $390,000+ donated
Here's how far your money goes: Every $7.50 spent = 1 meal for a child • $75 order = 10 meals for kids • $750 order = supports a teacher for one month
How We Make Sure Your Support Reaches the Right People
We know corruption exists in some areas, so we work carefully with trusted local contacts who watch over every donation for us. These people help get money to those who really need it.
When we find a real need and can verify the money will help kids, we start sending funds. As money gets used the way we're told it would be, we send more if we have it.
Every dollar donated goes directly to children or people working with children—no administrative fees taken out.

A Thank You from Africa
You're part of something bigger than business. Every wholesale order you place feeds children, supports families, and helps entire communities build better futures.
Nelson Mandela said: "Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear."
Your business helps make that possible.
If we each do a little in the battle against injustice, together we make a real difference in someone else's life.
