What the charity does

We support and empower Africans impacted by Parkinson's. As the first, and only, pan-African Parkinson's support charity, we have a unique opportunity to significantly impact the lives and experiences of those affected by PD across the continent. We do this through programs and initiatives that bring about a paradigm shift in the way the disease is perceived and managed across Africa.
