Our Projects and Initiatives
Alaafia is currently involved in more than 25 programs and initiatives designed to empower survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, FGM, Sickle Cell individuals and families, people with disabilities, African communities, and other vulnerable populations to promote health, safety, education and economic growth.
Some of our projects are actively being implemented, while others are in the planning and development stages. As our organization continues to grow, we will regularly update this page with new initiatives and highlights of completed projects.
If you are interested in sponsoring, partnering with, or supporting any of our projects, please contact us at grants@alaafiaafrc.org or call 414-432-3555.
