URGENT AFRICA AT WORK
Urgent Africa in partnership with villages is working to ensure a healthy and sustainable future for African children. Our work is guided by a Sustainable Village Vision that incorporates education, HIV prevention, integrative health care, infrastructure development, cultural preservation, empowerment programs and economic development.
The Sustainable Village Vision serves as a guide to develop and implement appropriate solutions to community challenges that will serve as a model for replication in other regions in Africa.
Urgent Africa Principles
| Values |
Description |
| Whole systems approach |
Addressing HIV/AIDS holistically and not as an isolated health problem, separate from other key interrelated issues such as poverty and lack of access to education |
| Sustainability |
All forms of assistance and program structures are culturally relevant and designed to feed back into the village to create long term self sufficiency |
| Partnership |
All programs are in complete partnership and consensus with the village goals and values. UA will only work with Community Based Organizations (CBO) from villages that request our assistance |
| Participation |
The programs build upon the existing cultural, social and economic context by engaging local people in all levels of program development, implementation and assessment |
| Cross cultural exchange |
Provide people the opportunity to have life enhancing experiences through cross cultural collaboration |
