ANSA Members: Become a Participant | International Program Blog 
Children cared for by Hope Initiatives Southern Africa, partners of ANSA and its Global Member Agencies.
Responding to the continued escalation of the HIV pandemic in developing countries, ANSA launched its International Program in 2007. This unique program makes use of the wealth of knowledge and skills ANSA member agencies and partners have gained in more than two decades of service to HIV communities in the U.S., Canada and London. International Program participants share their expert resources in HIV nutrition, volunteerism, organizational management, community mobilization, fundraising and capacity building with communities profoundly affected by HIV. In townships and settlements in developing countries, ANSA global participants develop “twinning” partnerships with community-based entities. Together they establish innovative nutrition programs that are linked with other service providers, community organizations, schools and businesses to ensure long-term sustainability and success. Initial efforts are focusing on addressing the profound challenges of HIV/AIDS in Africa. On a broader scale, ANSA global participants collaborate with larger, established multi-national organizations, providing adjunct nutrition support to HIV projects they are setting up or already operating in multiple countries. This ensures that nutrition is integrated as part of the whole continuum of care in global HIV/AIDS programs. ANSA members may become a participant in the International Program in two ways, either as a Global Member Agency (GMA) or a Global Support Agency (GSA). To learn more about this, please click here. Individuals and non-member businesses and organizations interested in participating are invited to call for more information.
