Madis with Amref since 2010

Amref – who we are:

Health is the key for a safe world to grow in and develop our skills. This is why Amref Health Africa promotes health projects in Africa’s most remote areas. After almost 60 years since its establishment, nowadays Amref is the biggest Africa’s health organization to operate in the continent.

La salute del mondo passa per l’Africa. The second most populated continent in the world, yet the most underdeveloped when it comes to health. Safeguard of mothers and children, fight to endemic illnesses and pandemics, access to clean water, training for health local operators, reinforcement of public health services are essential steps to make Africa healthy.

Always, for Amref, heatlh comes inside local communities. It is only through the active involvement of the populations, the local personnel and public health systems that long term improvements can be realized. This is why 97% of the people working with Amref in Africa are African.
