Our Programmes

Parkinson's Africa rarely provides direct services to beneficiaries, but this does not mean we do not support and engage with people affected by Parkinson's disease; quite the opposite. Africans affected by Parkinson's disease frequently contact us to ask how we can help or simply to share their stories, ask to get involved, or seek support and information about Parkinson's disease to assist loved ones. Once we have identified an individual's needs, we determine the level of support or services that are required, appropriate or relevant to the individuals, we signpost and put them in touch with our partner organisations that are most suited to assist.

Our approach is to build capacity and invest in people, partners and programmes on the ground so the partners we work with can best assist the beneficiaries by leveraging their local knowledge and experience.

Here are some of the programmes and resources we've collaborated on with a diverse range of partners:

Furthermore, we receive requests for collaboration from researchers, academics, medical professionals, or other support group leaders or organisations involved in supporting people with Parkinson's disease. Funders and corporate sponsors may wish to support a specific activity or project, which we always appreciate. Please get in touch with us, we'd love to hear from you.
