A Word From The President

The 4th Annual SWAA Conference has on binoculars to find out whether the continent is ready in Supporting Sustainable Wellness in Africa and Medical Health Tourism Development. And with it, we will provide you with the information from experts that you can take back to your organization rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. This conference will also connect you with thought leaders who may also have recommendations for you, making travelling to Mombasa – Kenya well worth it. The Non-profit Spa & Wellness Association of Africa SWAA conference focuses primarily on raising standards, education, fundraising strategies, accreditation and more. It’s an important event solely for the valuable information related to the continent’s development strategies, and growth, that keeps seeing a rise in recent years. I warmly welcome you to participate in the 4th Annual SWAA Conference 2019.

Sincerely,
Elaine Okeke-Martin
(President)
