The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong in the world.
— Dr. Paul Farmer

Unite The World With Africa, LLC, is a 100%-volunteer social organization launched in 2008 by Anne Wells to provide a portal through which ALL PEOPLE can ultimately become part of the solution. Our intention is to raise an army of ambassadors for those who are working on the front lines in the battle against extreme poverty and its associated suffering. Over the years, hundreds of American safari goers have traveled to Tanzania with Unite and experienced our unique adventure proposition that combines traditional wildlife safaris with field visits to our partner programs. We empower our clients to get up close and personal in Africa... to experience, see, learn, discover, share and explore in ways they often never have had before. Read what some of those intrepid spirits have to say HERE.

TOGETHER WE STAND COMMITTED TO:

  • Stewardship to the natural world

  • Conservation, collaboration and education

  • Empathy, love and compassion

  • Hard work and persistence

  • Humility and a sense of unity

  • Spiritual development

  • Respect for all life

  • The awakening of the world

  • The eradication of extreme poverty

  • And HOPE for all that is possible.

Faced with the extreme and widespread challenges of the day — disease, war, violence, hunger, poverty, corruption, hopelessness, hate and apathy — there is only one way forward… We must UNITE across borders seen and unseen and connect with those we deem to be the “others.” As we watch the suffering escalate in nearly every area of our world, we must ask ourselves…

“What would love do?”

And then, we must act.
— Anne Wells, Founder & Director
