Our field partners in Afar, APDA, are working tirelessly to provide relief for the current drought, and build capacity to withstand future and repeated drought.

Anglican Overseas Aid has been partnering with the Afar Pastoralist Development Association (APDA) since 1997. APDA runs a variety of programs to help the Afar people – many of them focusing on vulnerable women and children – including health and vaccination, water provision, maternal and child health, education and more.

Our connection to Valerie Browning and an alignment to the work they do on the ground and our goals, is why we have formed a strong partnership with this amazing group of people. The APDA works on a wide variety of projects to contribute to the development and wellbeing of the Afar people
