The Pan African Acupuncture Project trains licensed acupuncturists on the use of its teaching manual, written in clear and simple terms explaining the theory of acupuncture and the techniques associated with it. These acupuncturists travel to specific target communities in the African continent and train the local individuals. The Project maintains contact with the communities to provide ongoing support.

The Pan African Acupuncture Project trains healthcare workers in Africa to use simple and effective acupuncture techniques that enable them to treat the devastating and debilitating symptoms associated with HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB.

At the core of the Project is the training of local community healthcare providers so that they can provide the treatments. This is a very important aspect of this Project in that it empowers the people themselves.
