Our Board

Partner Organisations

Our vision cannot be achieved by RHAP alone. We are grateful for the many partner organisations that have over the years supported, strengthened, and complemented the work of the Rural Health Advocacy Project.

Our Donors

A special acknowledgement to Atlantic Philanthropies who provided seed funding that led to the establishment of RHAP in 2009, and for their years of ongoing support.

We also thank our current donors that continue to make significant investments in the work and mandate of the RHAP, including the Open Society Foundation, The Raith Foundation, and Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
