Aid for Africa

It is not too late to register for the upcoming DC Forum on January 7th. Dr. Julius Cole will be speaking about the work of Africare, the oldest and largest African-American led organization assisting Africa. 

According to the Africare web site:

Africare's programs address needs in three principal areas:

• Health and HIV/AIDS
  
• Food security and agriculture
  
• Emergency response
  

Complementing and extending our work in those focus areas, Africare supports programs in:

• Water resource development
  
• Environmental management
  
• Literacy and vocational training
  
• Microenterprise development
  
• Civil-society development and governance
  

Africare now reaches families and communities in some 25 countries in every major region of Sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal to South Africa and from Chad to Mozambique. Since its founding in 1970, Africare has delivered more than $710 million in assistance — over 2,000 projects — to 36 countries Africa-wide.
