Shropshire Health for Africa Project (SHAPE) is a small charity started by volunteers loosely based around the medical centre in Church Stretton, South Shropshire.

We registered with the UK Charities Commission in May 2008. For details enter our Charity number 1124253 on the Charities Commission web site or try this direct link. You can see the trustees of the charity here. Our contact details are here.

Our aim is to help people in Africa gain access to good primary health care:

• to provide and facilitate healthcare services in communities in Africa where access is currently limited or absent
• to aim for the elimination of diseases within the community that are easily and cheaply preventable and treatable
• to work in partnership with local communities to facilitate and disseminate health education

We are young organisation and since we started have kept a brief online diary which tells more about us.
