Welcome
The Australian Doctors for Africa (ADFA) has three continuing projects, providing volunteer doctors and nurses to areas of need in Africa. These areas include Somalia, Ethiopia and Madagascar.
We are looking to raise significant sums of money by donations from individuals, mining companies and government organisations.
Since the launch of ADFA in November 2005 we have had a significant expansion of the volunteer membership. It has been necessary to introduce a Volunteer's Registration Form consistent with other volunteer charitable organisations.
You may wish to check out our Newsletter - 5th Edition (January, 2010) out now and for those wanting to volunteer or donate please see our Join Us page for information on how to do this.
2010 Little Feet Walk a great success
The South Perth foreshore was the backdrop for this annual and important fund raising event. Now in its fourth year, the event has been a significant fund raising activity for Australian Doctors for Africa with funds being directed towards medical teams and the screening and treatment of talipes or club foot in Ethiopia, Somalia and Madagascar.
This year saw over 250 walkers stride along the 10 km foreshore track to raise almost $26,000 which was an 80% increase over last year. Australian Doctors for Africa would like to acknowledge the support of Wesley College for the use of their grounds and premises, Salmark for sponsoring the T-shirts, Ego Pharmaceuticals and Coles for their generous contributions in making the event so successful.
