Who we are
Aid has comprehensively failed Africa. But Advance Aid is a new charitable initiative that will make a difference.
By deploying a new model of local procurement and stockholding, it will enable emergency supplies for Africa to be made in Africa and stored in strategic locations – in advance of any emergency.
This time-saving new model for disaster relief will save thousands of lives when disaster strikes. It will also stimulate a healthy culture of trade, not just aid, on the continent of Africa. The Advance Aid model also saves tonnes of carbon emissions by reducing the distances that emergency aid materials have to travel.
Doesn’t it all make sense?
