Three ways your gift will support health research
Course places. Many nurses, midwives and junior doctors in Cameroon cannot pay course fees from a public salary. A sponsored place on the research methodology course gives one of them the skills to run and publish a study on their own ward, and most go on to train colleagues.
Community screening. A campaign day needs transport, blood pressure cuffs, glucose strips, printed materials and lunch for volunteers. The 2023 hypertension programme reached more than 5,000 people this way, and identified hundreds who did not know they were at risk.
Mentorship to publication. A first paper takes months of a mentor's time. Gifts pay mentors for that time, so that fellows from district hospitals can publish in the same journals as colleagues in the capital, and so that Cameroonian evidence reaches the people who decide health policy.
How gifts are recorded and reported
Every gift is confirmed by email with a receipt. Donations are recorded against the activity they support, and donors who give 50,000 FCFA or more in a year receive a short annual report on what their gift paid for: the course places funded, the campaign days run and the papers published by sponsored fellows.
SRA is a registered nonprofit organisation and, since 2025, the research arm of SHINE. In addition, every gift to support health research is listed in our annual summary to donors, and you can read about our projects and impact at any time. Funds are held and audited within SHINE's accounts. We do not sell or share donor details, and we will never contact you to ask for a further gift unless you tell us you would like to be kept informed.
