IN A NUTSHELL

HARAMBEE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) sponsored organization helping those in sub-Saharan Africa affected by HIV. We do this in a variety of ways: (1) speaking engagements to raise awareness both here and in Africa; (2) health care initiatives using medical and lay volunteers; (3) microeconomics projects giving women & children a "hand up to care for themselves without relying on a handout; (4) marketing craft items made by co-op work groups & accepting donations for our projects; (5) building communication bridges between school groups here and in Africa.

Our work empowers the women to:

  1. Build community (learn more)
  2. Earn a living (learn more)
  3. Save for burial expenses (learn more)
  4. Stop HIV through education (learn more) ( volunteers)

HARAMBEE promotes partnership with those we want to help. The height of empowerment is the ability to empower another. Therefore, all projects we adopt require participants to give back to their community. E.g., those who receive a dairy goat give the first-born kid to another family; when teaching oral rehydration therapy for infants, we educate trainers who continue teaching when we have left. We foster good management practices, accountability, and sustainability. We have no overhead, salaries, or advertising costs, and every penny gets squeezed ‘til it begs for mercy.
