Feat Africa was founded by Loguya Matthew on August 15, 2013; as Hope for African Transformational Services (HATS) in South Sudan. Throughout his career, he realized that human has some daunting environmental, and spiritual problems compounded with a lack of knowledge about the gospel and health. He began preaching, teaching pastors, and installing Biosand filters in Kajo-keji, Juba, Yei, and Mundri South Sudan before spreading to the West Nile region of Uganda, and the Aru Territory of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Feat Africa is governed by a Board of Directors, established in 2017. The first board members of this organization voluntarily accept to steer the organization in a stakeholders meeting called in October 2017.
