Canada- Africa Community Health Alliance - CACHA

CACHA is a non-government organization that seeks to improve the health of rural communities through partnerships to facilitate programs and initiatives for disease prevention, treatment, care, support and education to the most vulnerable in Bénin, Tanzania and Uganda. CACHA was founded in 2001 and has since treated over 200,000 patients, supported more than 900 orphans and vulnerable children and donated over $7.5 million in medical and other supplies. CACHA accomplishes this through the provision of adequate resources based on the determinants of health that include: childhood education, water and sanitation, women's rights, income security, housing and nutrition. We provide materials, infrastructure, and the exchange of skill development in order to create a positive outcome on health in supported regions of operation. CACHA seeks to engage in strategic partnerships and build programs to ensure sustainability, transparency and accountability.
