Mission Statement
Amref Health Africa’s vision is for lasting health change in Africa: communities with the knowledge, skills and means to maintain their good health and break the cycle of poor health and poverty. Amref Health Africa believes in the inherent power within African communities – that power for lasting transformation of Africa’s health lies within its communities. Amref Health Africa shares knowledge gained from its grassroots programs with others, and uses it as evidence to advocate appropriate change in health policy and practice. In all its programs, Amref partners with communities, civil society organizations, health practitioners and the private and public sectors to establish a participatory health care system.
About This Cause
Amref Health Africa, the largest African led international organization on the continent, provides training and health services to over 30 countries in Africa. Founded in 1957 as the Flying Doctors of East Africa to bring critical health services to remote communities, Amref Health Africa now delivers preventative, community-based health care. With a focus on women and children, Amref Health Africa manages a full range of medical and public health programs tackling the most critical health challenges facing the continent: maternal and child care, HIV & TB, malaria, clean water and sanitation and surgical and clinical outreach. Much of our credibility with local communities and African governments stems from the relationship and trust that we have built over the past 57 years. Since our inception, Amref Health Africa has trained over 600,000 health workers.
