About Us
About Us and Our Purpose
Address Aid Africa is a nonprofit social enterprise founded by Michael and Cynthia Kimanzi
Our purpose is to provide a unique (postal) address to people who live in dwellings of unplanned settlements such as slums, shanties, semi-permanent campsites etc.
Address Aid Africa was set up in response to the Universal Postal Union’s “Addressing the world: an address for everyone” initiative.
Our Vision
Having a physical unique address enables a citizen to partake with relative ease in the necessary day to day activities such as social welfare entitlements, utility supply , schools, healthcare services or even to run a business. Having a unique address basically enables one to have an identity.
This is particularly true for those people who are recognised as being in the ‘base of the pyramid’ (BOP). There are almost 1 billion people worldwide categorized into this group living on less than $2.50 a day in urban slums.
Our vision is for any person who does not have a unique address, and especially those living in unplanned settlements (such as slums, shanties, rural villages) and who wishes to have an address, may have one.
The technology used will be of the most up to date 21st century technology that is user friendly, efficient and which is future proofed.
