About African Shade

African SHADE is a faith-based organization dedicated to restoring lives affected by substance abuse and domestic violence, with a focus on supporting women, children, and families.

Our journey is rooted in a passion to see lives transformed, as we walk alongside individuals through recovery, community support, and programs that bring healing, stability, and lasting hope.

Through our programs and initiatives, we empower individuals to rebuild their lives, develop essential life skills, and embrace opportunities for growth. By fostering a supportive community and promoting resilience, African SHADE strives to create environments where every woman, child, and family can thrive and experience lasting positive change.

Recovery & Counseling

We champion recovery through AA meetings, counseling and a live-in treatment center,  Kuyumba House. Anchored in God’s truth and grace, we support individuals overcoming addiction as they renew their minds, rebuild their lives, and thrive through the support of a sober community.

Community Support

Sustainable Support

The launch of a community mill, New Horizon Milling, will soon provide both a vital source of income to our work as well as jobs for young men coming out of addiction. The mill will provide food in an area where resources are often scarce,  providing sustainable support.
