Mission & Goals
Stichting Africa Advocacy Foundation is (AAF) is a registered charity that promotes better health, education and other life opportunities for disadvantaged people through practical support, advocacy, campaigns, policy work, information, advice, guidance and training. Through our Mi-Health Europe programme, we work to support and advocate for marginalized communities and in particular migrants at risk and those diagnosed with HIV, hepatitis, mental health concerns, TB and other conditions across the EU/EEA. Mi-Health Europe is a policy and advocacy collaborative that strengthens the capacity of European migrant communities to engage with services and to influence healthcare policy and practice. Promoting an inclusive, empowered European community of frontline organisations and services working with migrants by building capacity, influencing policy, collaborating and sharing best practice and expertise. Our goal is to advance European migrant healthcare advocacy through these efforts.
