Our Partners in Healing

We Get By With A Little Help From Our Friends
No community health project stands alone because the needs are too great for individual efforts to create enduring changes. Over the past six years in Abidjan, we have developed a network of partnerships and affiliations that enable us to do our work more effectively and efficiently.  Those partnerships include the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, DePaul University and the Ivoirian National Institute of Public Health, a division of the Ministry of Health.
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation  
An American  nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing pediatric HIV infection and eliminating pediatric AIDS through research, advocacy, and prevention, care, and treatment programs. Founded in 1988, the organization works in 17 countries, conducting pediatric HIV and AIDS research,  providing accessible preventive and treatment services for children, women, and families, and working with government and the private sector to affect public policy on HIV and AIDS. The Centre de Santé Nimatoullah receives support from  the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation to enhance our HIV/AIDS outreach, education and treatment programs.  
Ivoirian National Institute of Public Health, a division of the Ministry of Health.
Our work in Abidjan would not be possible without the support, encouragement and active participation of the INSP, which provides us with resources that a small, independent charitable organization like ours would never be able to manage on our own.  Most of all, the staff of INSP has collaborated extensively with our special needs team and graciously provided logistical support for our training sessions.
The Flora Family Foundation FFF was established in 1998 in the belief that each individual has an obligation to go beyond the narrow confines of his or her personal interests and be mindful of the broader concerns of humanity. The Foundation supports programs in education, arts and culture, international development, the advancement of women, health, the environment, human services, economic development, humanitarian assistance, cultural preservation, and international security.
DePaul University
DePaul University, a leader in early childhood development research and education, has provided funds to assist our efforts to create a system for the identification and intervention services for children with special needs, demonstrating an ongoing sensitivity to the unique problems of identifying and helping these children.
