About Africa No Filter: Africa No Filter is an advocacy organisation working to shift stereotypical narratives about Africa. We exist because many stories about Africa still lazily revolve around the single story of poor leadership, poverty, corruption, disease, and conflict. These stories fail to portray the other more progressive side of Africa and collectively perpetuate the narrative that Africa is broken, dependent, and lacks agency. The result? Harmful stereotypes that continue to paint a rigidly negative picture of the continent, despite the massive strides we are making.

Our mission at Africa No Filter is to shift these stereotypes because they impact the way the world sees Africa and how Africa sees itself. Through community building and advocacy, we support storytellers to help shift the stereotypical narratives about Africa one story at a time.

Africa No Filter is a donor collaborative funded by Ford Foundation, Bloomberg, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Luminate, Open Society Foundations, the Hilton Foundation, and Hewlett Foundation.
