Growing Hope
Equipping Africa grows hope for the future by connecting people, ideas and innovative solutions to problems in health and medical education. 
-
Cultivating Minds
Effective cultivation of minds occurs when relationships are built one person at a time. We will build these relationships and through these relationships we will teach medical skills to physicians, students, and non-medical people.

Saving Lives
Lives will be saved throughout Africa as local people learn some of the key factors that improve health. They will learn as they see interventions that make an impact. These interventions will make a difference in medical schools, rural communities, and everything in between.

He then did his residency in internal medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, followed by infectious disease clinical and research training at the University of Arizona and the National Institutes of Health.

Mary Adam graduated from Trinity College (now Trinity International University) in Deerfield, IL and attended the University of Arizona College of Medicine followed by a pediatric residency at the University of Arizona. Subsequently, she also obtained a Master’s degree in Bioethics from Trinity International University and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Arizona in the area of program evaluation. She worked on HIV Prevention with I Choose Life-Africa a Kenyan nongovernmental organization during her Fulbright Fellowship in Kenya in 2007 to 2008.
Rod and Mary Adam were married in 1980 and celebrated their first year of marriage in Liberia on the west coast of Africa. They have three children. The oldest is a dietician in New York City, the second has graduated from Arizona State University, and the youngest is a university student.
We believe that the most effective form of training is that which occurs one-on-one and in small groups. We plan to utilize that approach to the greatest extent possible during our teaching in Africa.
