Support the Afar people
AngliCORD aims to send at least $150,000 to support Val’s efforts through Afar Pastoralists Development Association over the next year. Your gifts – large or small – will help us meet this goal to save lives and empower Afar people through literacy.
Community health worker: $2,240
APDA were shocked to discover that 1 in 3
Afar children die before they reach 5 – most
from easily preventable diseases. Community
health workers are now provided with 6 months
training and a medical kit, and sent out across
the region to provide basic home-based health
care, address outbreaks of disease quickly and
promote improved hygiene – saving hundreds
of lives each year. donate now
Medical kit for a Community Health Worker: $120
Includes a manual, medical diagnostic kit, and a field kit. donate now
Traditional Birth Attendant: $730
Train, equip and support a traditional birth
attendant, and help APDA reduce the enormous
risks facing Afar women in childbirth. Most
Afar women are several days walk from
medical help if something goes wrong, and
trained TBA’s can make all the difference
between life and death for both mothers and
newborns. donate now

Includes a manual, delivery set, and field
medical kit. donate now

extended training are provided in subsequent years. donate now
Equip a school: $1,000
Each teacher lives with a nomadic community,
caring the resources the school needs on a
camel. You can provide a remote school with:

text books for 80 students, chalk, slates, and
scrabble sets. donate now
