"Partners In Health and AfiD have been working together for 2-3 years. PIH has benefited tremendously from 7 AfID volunteers in various sites including Haiti, Rwanda, and Malawi."  Read more

"Each volunteer has provided an enormous amount of support, mentorship, and leverage for PIH employees working in the field. Due to our extremely lean finance and accounting teams, it is extraordinarily helpful to have a trained accountant come in and help with projects that would normally get pushed to the bottom of the priority list."

He was patient with staff, whose conflicting duties sometimes meant that they waited until the very last minute to ask him for help! He was detailed and thoughtful in how he approached financial training with local staff, and proactively identified areas in which his expertise, or that of a future volunteer, could be helpful.”

It has been a very successful relationship for SHI and I would definitely recommend an AfID partnership to any organization looking to grow or implement better accounting practices. 

Christopher was an outstanding volunteer. His expertise in the subject matter (QuickBooks) and dedication to seeing the project through was such an asset for us. I am extremely pleased with the results and I honestly think our accounting systems are much better off because of his involvement."
