#Ark20: the early years – international healthcare

In 2022, Ark celebrates its 20th year. We’re using this anniversary as an opportunity to highlight stories from our history of helping children in the UK and around the world.

Did you know, for example, that some of Ark’s earliest work was in international healthcare?

2003

One of Ark’s first projects was tackling HIV in South Africa.

2007

Continuing our work on treatment for HIV, in 2007 Ark looked to neighbouring Mozambique.
