Mission
Fair Aid Society members in DRC with members of AMAVM
 statement
:
Fair Aid Society provides 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. Fair Aid Society is committed to working with competent, caring, generous and honest health care professionals in the DRC.


Vision statement:
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.


The background on Fair Aid Society:
The idea of Fair Aid Society’s partnership with AMAVM came about in Lubumbashi, DRC in December 2006. Joanne Leung and Jeff Spiers (both Canadian citizens) 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.
