Extending Compassionate Healthcare
The mechanisms put in place to treat HIV and AIDS in Sub Saharan Africa may have laid the groundwork for expanding other healthcare practices, including palliative care, which focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients in all stages of disease. Aid for Africa member Foundation for Hospices in Sub-Saharan Africa (FHSSA) is helping to make this possible.

Partnerships
By working together, sharing ideas, and creating partnerships, Aid for Africa members can be more effective in their grassroots efforts on the ground in Africa.  For example, for the last three years, Aid for Africa members Books For Africa and Africa Classroom Connection have been working together to advance education in South Africa, Malawi, and Zambia by supplying and monitoring book donation sites there. Books For Africa and Invisible Children have also joined forces to ensure that schools in Northern Uganda have the books they need.   
Aid for Africa has partnered with Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition to advance research on food and sustainable agriculture in Africa.  Katrina Brink, the first Aid for Africa Endowed Scholar recently returned from Mwanza, Tanzania, where she helped reduce malnutrition through improved gardening and poultry husbandry. Read about Katrina’s experience and the impact she has made.
