Aid for Africa Endowment for Food and Sustainable Agriculture

Aid for Africa has made a gift to the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, to establish the Aid for Africa Endowment for Food and Sustainable Agriculture. The Endowment will support graduate students undertaking research in Sub Saharan Africa on how agriculture and nutrition can improve food security and reduce poverty.

In establishing the Endowment, Aid for Africa and the Friedman School recognize that there are many pathways out of poverty and that the Endowment will encourage interdisciplinary scholarship related to Africa, including with other parts of Tufts University. The recipients—initially one student each year—will be Aid for Africa Endowed Scholars who will undertake research that seeks to improve the health and well-being of people in Sub Saharan Africa.
