Gesundes Afrika

GESUNDES AFRIKA, an independent and non-profit organization for medicine and research in Africa, has been committed to improving healthcare in African countries since 1963. The central goal of the association is to support the African population, especially in rural areas, through better healthcare so that they can find ways out of poverty.

• Healthcare in Rural Areas: GESUNDES AFRIKA focuses on improving medical care in remote areas where access to health services is often limited.
• Training of Medical Personnel: The training and further education of local health personnel is a central aspect of the work to strengthen healthcare in the long term.
• Disease Prevention: Through prevention programs and educational work, efforts are made to prevent the spread of diseases and promote the overall health of the population.
• Food and Water Projects: In addition to healthcare, projects to improve food supply and water and hygiene standards are also carried out to enhance living conditions.
• Support for Women and Children: Special attention is given to healthcare and support for women and children, who are often particularly vulnerable groups.

The mission of GESUNDES AFRIKA is based on the belief that only healthy people can find ways out of poverty. The association is committed to strengthening local competencies and collaborating with established partner organizations on the ground to develop sustainable solutions. Transparency, efficiency, and close cooperation with local structures are central values of the association.

• Sustainable Support: GESUNDES AFRIKA works closely with local partners to achieve sustainable changes. Examples include collaboration with Daryeel Bulsho Guud in Somalia to improve health services and livelihoods.
• Climate Resilience: The association is also engaged in combating the effects of climate change by implementing programs for food security, water access, and sustainable livelihoods.
• Community Empowerment: By supporting communities and promoting local structures, socio-economic stability in the project countries is strengthened.

GESUNDES AFRIKA has been a holder of the DZI Donation Seal since 1992, confirming the transparency and efficiency of the organization. The association is funded through donations and fundraising revenues, with the proportion of advertising and administrative costs being reasonable and regulated according to DZI standards[3].
