Fair Aid Society
 Canada  |  Research/Dev

To provide support to vulnerable and marginalized sick people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by funding projects which allow AMAVM health care professionals to provide medical, emotional and social care to these patients so that they are able to contribute to AMAVM-run community development projects.

The idea of Fair Aid Society’s partnership with AMAVM (Association pour les Malades Vulnérables et Marginalisés) came about in Lubumbashi, DRC in December 2006. Joanne Leung and Jeff Spiers realized the need for medical equipment, supplies and funded projects while they were volunteering with AMAVM. AMAVM was operating on a volunteer basis and lacked the resources to accomplish their goals. On December 28, 2006 Joanne and Jeff, along with three members of AMAVM (Franck Otete, Rémy Anguandia and Lievin Lukusa) drafted the outline of Fair Aid’s objectives with the understanding that Joanne and Jeff would return to Canada and develop Fair Aid into a charitable society that would partner with AMAVM to support them in the achievement of their goals. Our vision for every person living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is that they receive the health care, emotional and social support that they need in order to heal and reintegrate as contributing members of society.
