Who We Are

Building dignity, restoring hope, and transforming lives across East and Southern Africa.

Who We Are

GOFRIL Foundation is a registered, nonprofit, and non-governmental organization working across East and Southern Africa, with primary operations in Dowa District (Malawi) and Kigoma Region (Tanzania). Founded in 2011 as GOFRIL Ministries and restructured in 2025 into GOFRIL Foundation, we operate with a professional governance framework and a bold mission to restore dignity and promote socio-economic transformation in underserved communities.

Through collaboration, innovation, and local partnerships, we ensure our impact is sustainable, inclusive, and community-owned.

GOFRIL Community Work

Our Journey

What began as a small faith-rooted outreach initiative has grown into a robust, multi-sectoral development organization serving thousands across refugee and host communities.

Over the years, we expanded our programming to include education, economic empowerment, psychosocial support, and leadership development. Our recent rebranding reflects our commitment to professionalism, impact, and alignment with international development standards.

Our Mission

To restore hope and dignity by providing equitable access to education, healthcare, emergency relief, economic empowerment, and social services to individuals of all ages, faiths, and nationalities.

Our Vision

A world where every person—regardless of background, religion, or gender—can live with dignity, access quality education and healthcare, and attain economic independence.
