What we do

 What We Do

AMREF is improving disease prevention, health promotion, and access to health services in Africa. We champion women and children, who are often the most marginalized, as a means to improve the overall health and lives of the people on the continent.

Working closely with African communities and governments, we ensure that our health projects are relevant and sustainable.
