Program Partners

The SPARK Center at Boston Medical Center has worked with NFSC since 2002 to enhance levels of support for orphans and vulnerable children, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS. Examples of their recent work include completing a cross-cultural knowledge exchange initiative, conducting a qualitative needs assessment in Uganda, presenting their joint work to academic and medical audiences at Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard School of Public Health. Looking ahead, these two community-based organizations seek to engage in a sustainable 'twinning relationship' to augment patient care, staff skills, resource sharing, and staff retention at NFSC and SPARK.
