Training and Capacity Building

We believe that it's important to invest in local people who will stay in their countries and serve their own compatriots.

For this reason, you will find that our program of partnerships emphasises strengthening and upgrading local knowledge and skills.

Australians can become sponsors of young Congolese doctors to become specialists. At $15,000 per annum, it's a bargain compared to Western costs.

We are also offering 11 sponsorship opportunities for orthopaedic officers being trained by Dr Jo Lusi at HEAL Africa. Only $2,700 per annum over 2 years. Jo is the only orthopaedic surgeon in Eastern DR Congo and in a war zone the needs are enormous.
