The Community Partnership Service is an important part of AFAP’s ongoing strategic development. Through the Service, communities in Australia are linked with communities in Africa, the Pacific, South East Asia and South Asia in the support of specific development and poverty alleviation projects.

With AFAP technical support, development expertise and guidance, Community Partners mobilise the financial and human resources of Australian communities for the purpose of responding to developmental needs that have been identified by communities in recipient countries.

If you are part of a community group that is interested in supporting an overseas aid project and would like to become a Community Partner, please contact us

Our Community Partners who are working with AFAP to support programs in Africa are:

Hope for Children, Ethiopia

AFAP’s Australian Community Partner, Hope for Children, is working in Ethiopia running a series of programs which ensure that orphans and other vulnerable children have access to basic services and that they have someone to support and care for them.

The ISIS Foundation, Uganda

The ISIS Foundation (ISIS) was established in early 1997 to benefit children in the developing world, specifically in Nepal and Uganda.
The ISIS Foundation focuses on health and education programmes for children and their families, developed in partnership with local communities in Nepal and Uganda.
ISIS works on a range of projects including installation and maintenance of sustainable technologies (such as solar lighting in homes, and smokeless stoves), rescue of and support for around 140 war-displaced and trafficked children, and medical training.
In Nepal, ISIS works in Kathmandu, the capital, and in Humla, a remote and highly disadvantaged district in the North West. In Uganda, ISIS’ main focus is in the Luwero region, a rural area North of the capital, and also in Kampala with a small street children’s project.
