THE SARRAOUNIA TRUST is a not-for-profit public health agency based in Johannesburg, South Africa, working at the cutting edge of development and change in the public health arena. We are a committed group of women practitioners with a wide range of public health expertise and experience in development.

OUR BACKGROUNDS are in public health, education, health promotion, medicine and social research.

OUR EXPERTISE is in the design of programmes that build capacity to empower individuals and organisations to take action to find local solutions.

OUR METHODOLOGY is appreciative rather than problem-centred aiming to build on what is working. Critical to all our work is an uncompromising commitment to the integrity of the people and communities with whom we work. We are committed to the principles of gender equality, and seek to actively and critically engage with all aspects of the development process to ensure that gender is central to the notion of development. Our team is committed to sharing and disseminating our work.
