Harvard Africa Business and Investment Club
Africa provides quintessential grounds for analytical study of poverty and underdevelopment and the role of ethical business in ameliorating some of these problems. This kind of cross-context understanding of poverty, underdevelopment and the role of ethical business practice in ameliorating them, in an era of globalization and rapid economic transformations-- is imperative for Africa and the developing world in general. The resulting sustainable economic growth for the developing world is essential, especially if the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal of cutting the 1990 poverty rate by half by 2015 is to be realized. A club like the forenamed will promote better understanding of these and other issues by bringing together Harvard College students and Experts from academia, business, finance and development fields. Many of our members are interested in careers in Africa after graduation or in the long term. Members will also typically (but need not) have an interest in business, finance, economics, development, government or some other related field. Every year, the club will run a real or simulated investment project based on an identified developmental or poverty-alleviation need in a chosen African country.

Harvard College Alliance for Africa (HCAA)
Harvard College Alliance for Africa (HCAA) will work with both local African partner agencies and international organizations to implement sustainable programs for education in Africa''s remote rural areas and urban slums. HCAA''s goal is to enable African communities and families to support HIV/AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children through our initiatives which will ensure the underprivileged an improved quality of life. HCAA will initially work in Kenya and Tanzania where our supported sites will include schools, orphanages, vocational training centers, and libraries. HCAA will achieve its aims by collecting books, computers, bikes, and other appropriate items for donation to our initiatives, by pursuing ongoing fundraising campaigns, and by sending an envoy of volunteers to Africa to visit HCAA-sponsored programs at least once annually. HCAA volunteers will be encouraged to contribute to the success of our efforts in Africa throughout their college career and beyond.
