The Southern Africa Medical Aid Project (SAMAP) was initiated in the Triangle area to raise medical supplies for refugees fleeing from the apartheid regime of South Africa. The project was started in the fall of 1986 by the Committee for Peace with Justice in South Africa (Durham), the University of North Carolina Anti-Apartheid Support Group (Chapel Hill), North Carolinians Against Apartheid (Raleigh), and concerned individuals and medical personnel. SAMAP’s first project is to raise medical supplies and funds for the ANC-Holland Hospital in Dakawa, Tanzania.
