CPAR was founded in 1984 by Canadian physician Mark Doidge, in response to the extreme famine and poor health conditions faced by Ethiopian refugees in Sudan. CPAR's work started out as emergency relief in the form of food aid and medical intervention, but it has since evolved into an international development organization, committed to building healthy communities in Africa. With the idea of a healthy planet in mind, the majority of CPAR's work is focused on integrated health and sustainable development programs in the south-east region of Africa. CPAR's projects are located in Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi and Tanzania. We develop primary health care, water and sanitation, income generation, peace building, emergency assistance, natural resource management and food security programs to help support vulnerable communities in Africa.
