More about this organization
Mission
ALIMA is a humanitarian medical aid organization based in Dakar, Senegal. It's ALIMA’s firm belief that all people should have access to quality health services, regardless of where they live and what resources they have. Our unique model adheres to three overarching principles: to provide high quality medical care and humanitarian assistance to vulnerable families in need; to partner with and help build the capacity of local medical organizations; and to conduct medical and operational research that brings innovation to the field, leading to sustainable solutions and improved delivery of humanitarian assistance. ALIMA centers everything we do around the patients we serve. ALIMA operates in some of the most underserved areas in Sub-Saharan Africa.
About
The story of ALIMA began in 2009 in Niger. While the entire medical profession witnessed an alarming peak of acute malnutrition and increasing infant mortality rates, the health structures for managing malnutrition were becoming increasingly rare.
The year before, many international NGOs had been expelled from the country. Local NGOs were the only ones left to act, but they lacked resources. From these conditions came the idea to create a new model of humanitarian organization: an African medical alliance connecting national NGOs and international research institutes.
ALIMA was born.
Since the beginning of this adventure, ALIMA has treated more than 10 million people in 14 countries around the world, mainly in Africa.
