    African Prisons Project APP is a charity working in Africa to improve the welfare of prisoners through education, health and justice. It was founded in 2004, by then 18 year old Alexander McLean, who is now its director. Organizational history Image Donated books arriving at Kamiti Prison.JPG thumb 220px Donated books arriving at Kamiti Prison In 2004, Alexander McLean was volunteering in a hospital in Kampala , Uganda when he helped treat a group of prisoners from Luzira Upper Prison. McLean was shocked that the patients were chained to their beds, with no opportunity for sanitation. Despite being terminally ill, many patients were unsupervised. McLean visited the prison. He purchased materials and with the support of the prison authorities, supervised the prisoners renovating their own infirmary. When he asked the prisoners if they needed anything else, they expressed a desire for an education. When McLean returned to the UK, he collected books and money donated by friends and family, and returned to the prison to establish a library. When McLean s actions inspired others to volunteer to help with the cause, APP was born. Today, McLean is a member of the Tearfund Inspired Individuals Programme, along with Philemon Ministries Kelvin Mwikya . ref cite web url http www.inspiredindividuals.org index.cfm?i 6818&mid 4&ministryid 21620 title Alexander McLean Uganda publisher Inspired Individuals date accessdate 2011 02 05 ref Projects APP is a growing NGO , now with a permanent base in Kampala , local full time staff members and a small group of permanent volunteers in the UK.
