Organization Name: Africans in Medicine (AIM)
Organization Overview: Africans in Medicine (AIM) is a national organization that unites African medical professionals in an effort to confront medical, cultural, and societal complexities that affect the health and well-being of Africans and Africans in the Diaspora. The Wayne State University Chapter of AIM, which was founded in 2008, is a culturally empowered network of medical students who not only promote the mission of the national organization, but also seek to increase student awareness about these issues. AIM boasts of having a diverse student member body and welcomes students from all backgrounds to join.
Africans in Medicine (A.I.M.) is a non-profit organization started in 2005 by young African medical students with a mission of exerting a positive impact on the African communities both in the United States and Africa.
Four years later, a Michigan Chapter was officially started by Ebere Azumah (Class of 2010) and Ukamaka Atueyi (Class of 2009). Uka and Ebere recognized the importance of establishing an organization ran and operated by African students for Africans. Their goal was to address the problems Africans have in Africa, the United States and the Caribbean. Additionally, they wanted to dispel the misconceptions people have about Africans and their lifestyle.
Although there are many great medical organizations, AIM is unique and simple. Our goal is to use our medical knowledge, expertise and connections to address the problems that plague the African communities around the world. We have succeeded thus far by hosting annual free health fairs in Detroit, Michigan and in Haiti. We have organized seminars that address the barriers in health that Africans in the United States face. We have also hosted forums, tackling who we are as immigrants in the United States: how do we assimilate?
Impacting Africa might seem a lofty goal, but as Mother Teresa eloquently said, “If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” We might not solve all the problems in Africa but we will try to make a difference. We, the present and past executive board members, feel that we are making a difference!
As you browse our webpage, we hope to motivate you to make a difference in your community; recognize that this group was started by ordinary people like yourself. Please feel free to join our group if you share a similar vision. You can also support us by providing us with ideas or through your generous financial donations.
As always: AIM HIGHER FOR A HEALTHIER AFRICA!

Organization Name: American Druze Society
Organization Overview: The primary purposes of the Society are to perpetuate the universal teachings of the Druze faith, the enhancement of fellowship among Druze descendants, the advancement of Druze religious, literary and cultural knowledge through education and research, and the betterment of all Druze people through charitable work.
Druze emigration to North America began in the nineteenth century. The Druzes were settled in the areas of southern Syria, Lebanon, and Galilee. These people have preserved their identity wherever they have resided, and they have remained a closely integrated society. They have always defended and preserved their independence, and they have upheld their virtue.
The inflow of the Druze immigrants increased in the beginning of the 20th century. America was the melting pot of various cultures and traditions. It was essential for the Druze to sustain their identity, culture and faith. The ingenuity of the Druze in this respect has been the driving force for their survival and their history in America. Therefore, early Druze settlers established a system and an organization which was designed to protect the Druze identity, culture, faith as well to serve the Druze brethren in the highest traditions of "Bani Marouf." These concepts and undercurrents caused the creation of the first Druze organization in America in 1908.
Branch #2 El-Bakaurat Ed-Dirziyat in Detroit, Michigan was founded May 27, 1917. The branch started through the efforts of Farris Hassen Abou Ghader from Cleveland, Ohio. The address of Branch #2 El-Bakaurat Ed-Dirziyat in Detroit, Michigan was 1337 East Palmer Street. The first officers of Branch #2 El-Bakaurat Ed-Dirziyat in Detroit were: Abbas Salman Abou Ghanem, Ali Salman Abou Ghanem, Khattar Moustafa Abou Shakra, Mahmoud Ali Dargham, Ibrahim Ali Dargham.
It included members living in the surrounding areas of Flint and Saginaw. It has always been the cornerstone of many Druze achievements in the West, and particularly the American Druze Society. It remained a very strong branch of the El-Bakaurat Ed-Dirziyat until the years 1973-74 when it joined the ADS as Chapter #1."
