Amref Health Africa - UK

The UK office of Amref Health Africa – Africa's health charity. Locally-staffed. Community-led. Why Amref Health Africa? We are working to change this.

Sub-Saharan Africa has a quarter of the world's disease burden, but just 3% of the world's health workers. Amref Health Africa is Africa's leading health charity. Working primarily with women and girls, our vision is of lasting health change within Africa's most vulnerable and remote communities. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, we are a truly African organisation, which combines grassroots develo

pment with government partnerships. This ethos defines our community-based approach and echoes across each and every one of our projects. We started life in 1957 as the Flying Doctors of East Africa. Beginning with aeroplanes to provide the most remote communities with health care, we've always used the tools of our time to bridge the gap between heath systems and people. Today we use e-learning, telemedicine, and mobile phones to spread health knowledge and care. Amref's work has won high-profile international awards such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Award for Global Health and the Conrad Hilton Humanitarian Award.

"The Ebola situation in Uganda is stable but very fragile" - Dr Patrick Kagurusi, Country Manager for Amref Health Africa in Uganda, but there is a vital need to contain the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda and to stop the spread at source.

The Bundibugyo strain currently has no vaccine, and further spread across borders could have devastating consequences. Help us to contain the outbreak, visit https://donate.amrefuk.org/ebola/ to donate today

A dangerous Ebola outbreak is spreading across East and Central Africa, and health workers are racing to contain it before it spreads even further. This outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain, a rare variant with a fatality rate of between 25 and 40%.

Unlike previous Ebola outbreaks, there is currently no vaccine or treatment available for this strain. Visit

Vivian and Musa are tailors, making and altering clothes for people in Magu, a market town near Lake Victoria in Tanzania.

They’ve built a business in the marketplace and built their own home, steps that were made possible by the support Amref provided Vivian at one of the most difficult times of her life.

Watch her fistula survivor story.

When Becky Buong was called in to Maridi Hospital in South Sudan to deliver her first baby as a student midwife, she turned to the duty midwife and admitted, "I'm scared." Her response buoyed Becky's confidence to step in and step up. She simply said: "This is the day you've been waiting for."

She's right! For both mum and midwife, childbirth is the day they're waiting for. Because, the partnership between a skilled, confident midwife and a mum is a unique power - it brings new life safely into the world.
