Celebrating the 100th anniversary
March 8, 2011

 

This landmark anniversary is a time to honor the political, economic, and social achievements of women past, present, and future. It also serves as a reminder of inequities that remain and work still to be done.

On this special day, we'd like to hear from you! Join us in celebration by telling us how you believe better health can and does change the lives of women and girls in Africa. Please post your thoughts on our Facebook page.

Access to disease prevention/health promotion and care is at the core of overcoming inequities and improving lives for the better. With this understanding, we at AMREF have made improving women's and children's health the main focus of our efforts.
