Alacrita, which is changing the face of life science consulting, is delighted to launch its Life Sciences Seasonal Appeal. Alacrita is offering the unique opportunity for individuals from the life sciences industry to bid for a two-hour, one-to-one lunch with senior figures from the pharmaceutical and venture capital industries.

"Getting all the girls in Africa into school is imperative if they are to break the cycle of poverty for themselves, their children and their societies. Without education, girls have no choices. They marry men not of their choosing. They bear children year on year and through no fault of their own, they pass on their own poverty to the next generation.

"At Camfed, we are working in partnership with 3,470 schools in extremely poor communities. In the different countries, between 40 and 70 percent of the girls we support are orphans. In spite of the serious challenges they face, in Ghana for example, 93 per cent of Camfed supported girls finish secondary school. Many go on to higher education and 60 per cent have established businesses through Camfed's Seed Money Programme. The money raised will, quite simply, be transformative."

Alacrita is rapidly growing consultancy that provides tailored, value added solutions to clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life science sectors.

Alacrita applies its real-world expertise and experience to rapidly assess and understand the challenges faced by its clients and to develop solutions that exactly meet their needs. This blueprint is then used to access the Alacrita consultants best suited to deliver projects on time and on budget.

Alacrita provides its clients with access to consultants who combine extensive international industry experience (strategic, technical and commercial), broad functional capabilities and a track record of success across the life science sector.

In addition, Alacrita's network of more than 50 consultants with "hands on" management experience allows it to solve client resourcing needs at critical times in their corporate development.

Since inception, Alacrita and its network have completed successful consulting projects for big pharma, biotech companies, life science investors, government bodies and charities.

Camfed works with communities in sub-Saharan Africa to break the cycle of poverty by enabling rural girls and boys to access and complete primary school and girls to go on to secondary education. Camfed also works to improve the quality of this education by creating safer, child-friendly schools and approaches to learning.

Once a girl has completed her secondary education we continue to work with her, either by supporting her university studies, or providing training in Business, Financial Literacy, Leadership and Health. Many of those who complete this training go on to launch their own small businesses and Camfed supplies start-up capital in the form of grants to support these burgeoning enterprises.

Camfed's programmes have benefitted over 1,500,000 children and young women in Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Camfed's power-sharing model is designed to ensure we work in close partnership with the local community. This holistic approach is underpinned by Camfed's Governance Model, which has been recognised as best practice, by various governments, multilateral organisations and practitioners in the field.
