Welcome

Happy New Year! In December, Western Heads East received a most generous million dollar donation from Dr. Marianne Larsen to provide probiotic yoghurt to people living with HIV/AIDS free of charge over the next ten years. A great start to the new year. There are some exciting events for 2012, including the Spotlight on WHE public engagement event on January 20th by interns of this past year and the fun In The Market for Western Heads East celebration on March 22nd.

Mission Statement

To engage staff, students, faculty and the broader community in teaching, research and service targeting the African HIV/AIDS crisis. This will raise awareness and funds to support the exchange of learning experiences, while making a sustainable difference to communities in Africa.
