The Africa Goal Project would like to thank the following organizations and companies for their ongoing support.

The initial supporters of the proposal, the Tanzania office of the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) has provided the project with generous funding and strategic know-how. The CHAI TZ team will work closely with local NGO partners and the Africa Goal Team to ensure that this tour leverages effective “Behavior Change Communication.”
The foundation's mission is to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. Together with the generosity of citizens and volunteers, President Clinton and the Foundation are vigorously working to advance those principles that move us beyond differences to a common future of shared responsibility, shared benefits, and shared values. The CHAI Initiative aims to assist countries in implementing integrated, awareness, care, treatment and prevention programs that will turn the tide on the epidemic.
