Building community capacity

Lack of healthcare infrastructure – including clinics and trained healthcare professionals – and cultural attitudes are significant barriers to treatment in many developing countries.

Our global programmes such as Positive Action is working with communities affected by HIV and AIDS, and our African Malaria Partnership is improving prevention and access to malaria treatment.

We support local initiatives that help overcome stigma, build the capacity of communities to provide healthcare and combat disease.

We also provide humanitarian relief in times of emergency and natural disasters.
