AAPCI/Africa: The mission of AAPCI/Africa is to collaborate with established NGOs on the African continent in an effort to eradicate the twin evils of poverty and HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Strategy:
* raise funds and mobilize resources to help support the development of a community healthcare center.
* Utilize the center and our web portal as a vehicle to campaign for the production of cheaper generic HIV/AIDS drugs as part of our efforts to help cope with the AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.
* Provide financial support and management expertise that fully supports community-based micro-enterprise businesses.
* Provide new and/or up-to-date refurbished computers to under-served schools in the communities we serve.
