HEAL Africa had the privilege of hosting the Vice President of the World Bank on Sunday, October 13, 2024. She was accompanied by a large delegation of bank officials at various levels.

Ms. Anna visited the One Stop Center located within the HEAL Africa Center of Excellence. She engaged with the staff members providing various services at the center. This visit allowed her and her accompanying delegation to learn more about the significant work HEAL Africa is doing in the fight against sexual and gender-based violence. Additionally, she became acquainted with the achievements aimed at empowering survivors of gender-based violence and fostering their financial independence. The Healing Arts products from HEAL Africa particularly caught the visitors’ attention.

At the end of her visit, Ms. Anna shared a few dance steps with the women who came to welcome her and encouraged HEAL Africa to continue its efforts.

The entire HEAL Africa community and the beneficiaries of its programs were filled with joy to receive this delegation from the World Bank.

This visit clearly strengthens the partnership between HEAL Africa and the World Bank. We hope this partnership endures for many years to come.
