ImpactAfrica-Founders

OUR FOUNDERS

Rich and Michelle Franzen, who have more than 25 years of missions experience, launched Impact Africa in 2004. Their hearts burned with a passion to help ease the suffering of the African continent, where 68% of the worlds HIV/AIDs population resides. Over the years, the Franzens have raised a multifaceted ministry focused on communities living in squatter camps on the periphery of Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city.

Since Impact Africa’s conception, fives areas of focus have emerged: Impact Kids Preschool, The Impact Baby Rescue, Impact Mission Adventures, Impact Students, and the Missions Experience Program. These different branches of Impact Africa were all created to help those in the poorest communities and address South Africa’s most devastating issues.
