About us
Who we are
Amref Health Africa is the largest Africa-based international health development organisation. We work to bring about lasting health change in Africa.
Headquartered in Nairobi, Amref works in 35 countries to improve access to healthcare and to help create an environment that is conducive to good health. Amref’s programmes focus on: child health and nutrition; communicable and non-communicable diseases; health financing; maternal, newborn health; neglected tropical diseases; sexual and reproductive health and rights; and water and sanitation and hygiene. Our programmes align with our Global Strategy objectives: to increase primary healthcare access for all, and to address the social determinants of health such as access to education, gender, and exposure to the impacts of climate change.
Amref Health Africa UK (Amref UK) is an independent UK-registered NGO that exists to support the programme and policy activities of Amref. With a UK-based Board of Trustees and staff team, our main purpose in the UK is to develop and manage partnerships with UK donors who want to support Amref’s work in Africa. Amref UK’s Strategy 2024–2030 will deliver growth to support the work towards Africa’s health transformation. Guided by our organisational values of Integrity, Quality and Ubuntu, we raise funds by engaging supporters and donors from across the giving spectrum.
