Partners in Development (PID) in Alexandria, Virginia has launched the PFA Philanthropist Program, a new initiative where for as little as $25, visitors can become PFA Philanthropists when they make a donation to the Partners for Africa Fund. The Fund supports 16 organizations working on HIV/AIDS in eight countries. Philanthropists will be able to create their profile, post their picture, their website address -- and also state why they are PFA Philanthropists. The PFA program wants to provide an opportunity for philanthropists to publicize their views, promote their work through the website, while networking with other fellow philanthropists for Africa.
The Partners for Africa (PFA) Program is an educational and philanthropic initiative that seeks to raise general awareness about various African countries, while also providing opportunities for African-Americans to get involved in supporting HIV/AIDS projects in Africa. The program focuses on supporting African organizations that are assisting women and children, who are currently suffering in huge numbers and disproportionately affected as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
PFA Philanthropist will receive the monthly "Experience Africa" newsletter that profiles famous figures and leaders from Africa; ancient civilizations; books about Africa; music from Africa (artists and CDs); working in Africa; investment opportunities in Africa
Discussion Forum: Members also have access to our discussion forum to network and exchange views about Africa with like-minded members.
Through membership, members have the opportunity to learn more about Africa while supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS! To become a PFA Philanthropist, please go to the project website at
