A Call to Action for Donors
The African American Wellness Project (AAWP) is empowering African Americans to take charge of their health and wellness every day, but we can’t do it without you.
The mission of AAWP is to empower the African American community for better health outcomes and wellness. Our mission is clear: combat healthcare disparities, champion equitable treatment, and equip African Americans with the tools and support needed to thrive.
AAWP Vision: At AAWP, we envision a future where every African American has equal access to quality healthcare, irrespective of race or socioeconomic status. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, we’re dedicated to fostering a healthcare system that is fair, inclusive, and supportive of everyone’s health and wellness needs.
1. Empowering Through Education
By providing resources, information, and support, AAWP empowers individuals to navigate the healthcare system effectively and advocate for their own health needs.
2. Advocating for Change
AAWP advocates for systemic change within the healthcare system to ensure equitable treatment and access to care for all members of the African American community.
3. Community Engagement
Through partnerships, events, and outreach efforts, AAWP actively engages with the African American community to promote health and wellness initiatives and foster a supportive network for individuals and families.
AAWP like many other Black-founded and -led nonprofits face unique challenges and offer unique solutions. Your support can help to fund the impactful work being done to address health disparities and equity. This includes the development of multimedia tools to spread awareness and inspire action regarding the health issues that disproportionately affect the Black community, including:
- Wellness Watch on Facebook Live
- Black Doctors Speak Podcast
- AAWP Medical Minute
- KBLX – San Francisco Bay Area
- KDEE – Sacramento
- WVON-Chicago
- WGIO-Atlanta
- About Health on KPFA 94.1
Recurring donations are one of the best ways to support AAWP. Set up a recurring donation to help sustain and provide the stability that AAWP needs to thrive and grow.
