Welcome to Project Lighthouse Africa

Project Lighthouse Africa e.V. (PLA) and its affiliates in West and East Africa are committed to supporting projects that promote sustainable development in African communities.

Our concept of development cooperation follows the comprehensive approach (integrated approach) and is based on the nexus development and security – communication – perspective development.

The PLA and its affiliates plan and implement country-specific projects that, after an initial period of co-financing, are able to meet their own financial needs. To ensure sustainability, charitable and commercial elements are combined.

The organisational structure is locally focused, with the flexibility to respond to rapidly changing project needs. In close cooperation with external partners, Project Lighthouse Africa gathers the necessary know-how for the successful implementation of the identified projects.
