Thanks Ann for creating that list - I think it's a fantastic idea to give all of us an outlet for activism on things other than clean water in Africa. I'm sure that we are all socially minded or we wouldn't be here! It's a wonderful idea, and I too don't want to see tension on this board. We've accomplished so much!! I did want to follow up on Jo's post - the African Well Fund is a grass roots not-for-profit organization - started by all of you wonderful people to help solve a problem we all saw in Africa. We've come a long way in a short time - from a group of people chatting online to where we are today. Where we are today is a legally chartered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, with official tax-exempt status as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. That growth has been fast and furious, and has required us to adjust what we are doing rather quickly, from an ad-hoc sort of group to an officially chartered one. Along the way, with some help from an attorney that has generously donated time to us, we have learned our legal obligations as a corporation and what we can and cannot do - including the organization's prohibition to engage in political activities. This type of prohibition also applies to other public-supported non-profits - including Africare. Perhaps we have not been as clear in expressing these legal requirements as we learned about them or tied them as well to requests to limit the types of postings on the list. Certainly the prohibitions against these types of postings have not always been evenly applied - but we need to be clear in our mission as we move forward: first for meeting the ultimate goals of the organization and secondly to ensure we are legally complying with the requirements of our status. We will all strive to follow this line properly in the future. If you have any questions regarding our legal requirements, please feel free to email Jo off-list and she can explain it in more detail. Thanks to everyone in this group for all they do to help Africans and advance our mission! 3209From: u2philly2001 <u2philly@a...> Date: Mon Oct 20, 2003 9:50am Subject: Map of Africa In our Photo section under the folder Maps, I uploaded another map of Africa.

Dracunculiasis http://www.who.int/ctd/dracun/disease.htm Nine out of ten people living in the depressed areas of Africa south of the Sahara still have nothing else to drink but meagre quantities of impure water, thus exposing themselves to serious diseases such as the appalling dracunculiasis. This parasitic disease causes dreadful suffering and disability among the world's most deprived people. The disease reappears each year during the agricultural season, handicapping farmers, mothers and schoolchildren already weighed down by harsh living conditions and often existing just above survival level. Families affected by the disease experience great loss: their food stocks and savings gradually dwindle away, they are no longer able to participate in vaccination campaigns and the children's schooling increasingly suffers. Gradually worn down by penury, these underprivileged people find themselves trapped in a vicious circle of poverty and disease. Dracunculiasis is a disease caused by the parasitic worm Dracunculus medinensis or "Guinea worm". This worm is the largest of the tissue parasite affecting human. The adult female, which carries about 3 million embryos, can measure 600 to 800 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter. The parasite migrates through the victim's subcutaneous tissues causing severe pain especially when it occurs in the joints. The worm eventually emerges (from the feet in 90% of the cases), causing an intensely painful oedema, a blister and the an ulcer accompanied by fever, nausea and vomiting. Infected persons try to relieve the burning sensation by immersing the infected part of their body in local water sources, usually ponds water. This also induce a contraction of the female worm at the base of the ulcer causing the sudden expulsion of hundreds of thousands of first stage larvae into the water. They move actively in the water and can live for a few days in water. For further development, they need to be ingested by suitable species of voracious predatory crustacean, Cyclops or water fleas which measure 1 ¡V 2 mm and widely abundant worldwide. In the cyclops, larvae develop to infective third-stage in 14 days at 26¢XC When a person drink contaminated water from ponds or shallow open wells, the cyclops is dissolved by the gastric acid of the stomach and the larvae are released and migrate through the intestinal wall. After 100 days, the male and female meet and mate. The male become encapsulated and die in the tissues while the female move down the muscle planes. After about one year of the infection, the female worm with the uterus filled with larvae, emerges usually from the feet repeating the life cycle. No drugs are currently available to prevent or heal this parasitic disease ¡V the only disease exclusively associated with unsafe drinking water. Dracunculiasis is, however, extremely easy to combat and should no longer be prevalent. Dracunculiasis is rarely fatal. Frequently, however, the patient remain sick for several months, mainly because: „h Several worms are expelled successfully, „h The migration and emergence of the worms occur in sensitive parts of the body, e.g. the sole of the feet, „h Serious secondary bacterial infection frequently sets in subsequent to the accidental rupture of the worm. Temporary disability can leave 58% unable to leave their beds for a month during and after the emergence of the worm, as found by a longitudinal study in Nigeria. This usually occurs during the peak agricultural activities and labour is in a great demand, this can effect the nutritional status of their children. In Sudan, households where more than half the adult members had suffered from Guinea worm in one year, their under 6 year children were three times as likely to be malnourished, as indicated by wasting. For that reason, considering only the benefit of reducing incidence, the WB estimated 29% economic rate of return for the global Guinea worm campaign which has cost US$ 90 millions todate. However, this is only part of the cost as Guinea worm cause other negative social and educational impact such as preventing infected people from engaging into social activities and prohibit children from attending schools. The epidemiology of the diseases is determined largely by the use of open water sources such as ponds and sometimes shallow or step wells. Man-made ponds such as hafirs in Sudan and small scale dams in West Africa are the main source of transmission. The disease is seasonal occurring with two broad patterns found in endemic areas of Africa depending upon climatic factors. In the Sahelian zone, transmission generally occurs in the rainy season (May to August). In the humid savanna and forst zone, the peak occurs in the dry season (September to January). However, there are local variations in these patterns. Other risk factors are mobility and infection the previous year. Dracunculiasis is a vulnerable disease: man alone is responsible for maintaining its fragile transmission cycle. It is therefore possible to permanently curtail transmission by applying simple measures. Some elementary steps include: „h systematic filtering of drinking water derived from ponds and shallow unprotected wells or from surface water. Finely-meshed cloth or, better still, a filter made from a 0.15 mm nylon mesh, is all that is needed to filter out the cyclops from the drinking water. „h the construction of copings around well heads or the installation of boreholes with handpumps. This would prevent not only dracunculiasis but also diarrhoeal diseases. If these measures are accepted and then administrated by village communities, the ultimate goal will be achieved: the eradication of dracunculiasis . 3216From: u2philly2001 <u2philly@a...> Date: Tue Oct 28, 2003 4:05pm Subject: another intersting site. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/africa/photos_guinea.asp Can't stress enought how important CLEAN WATER IS NEEDED!!!

Issuing their warning ahead of a water conference in Nairobi, experts said that by 2025 as many as 523 million people in Africa may be without access to clean water, while farmers would not have enough water for their crops. The shortages in Africa are part of a global trend in increasing water consumption, but the increase in household water consumption on the continent will be proportionally the highest of any region in the world. Africa will face a 23 percent shortfall in crop yields due to insufficient water supplies, while cereal imports will have to more than triple to 35 million tons in the next 23 years to keep pace with demand, increasing reliance on food aid, the experts said. "The crisis has to be addressed comprehensively at all levels, from the way farmers use water to international policy decisions that affect reforms and investments in water management and infrastructure," said Professor Frank Rijsberman, chairman of the Challenge Programme on Water and Food Consortium, a group of scientists and policymakers researching water scarcity. Rijsberman's statement said that the number of people in Africa without access to clean water will more than double to 401 million by 2025, rising to 523 million under a worst-case scenario. The meeting, starting in Nairobi on Sunday, will also discuss the impact of rules set by the World Trade Organization on water use, as well as ways to improve farming to use water more efficiently. "Agricultural subsidies in North America and Europe determine where food is grown and policy decisions taken in the World Trade Organization are possibly the single most dominant factor shaping the global demand for food and consequently the amount of water required to grow that food," Rijsberman said.

About two weeks ago we were discussing the possibility of doing some grant-writing research to increase the funds and the visibility of the AWF. I have found some sites that I would like to share with y'all and hopefully the BOD can follow up with some ideas from these sites. Here they are: afpnet.org fdncenter.org snpo.org grassrootsfundraising.org nsfre.org nonprofit.about.com cof.org I work PT with a local nonprofit and our grant-writer suggested that these would be excellent sites to start our search at, plus there is always the Gates Foundation to go to directly. I hope this helps and gives us another avenue to do additional fund-raising and increase our visibility! Take good care, friends, and God bless you always!
