Protective gear for Ebola responders have arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Surgical gloves, gowns, and masks are staged and ready to move to the front lines. When this outbreak began, Afya and joined forces for the first time, both driven by the same goal: getting protection to the people fighting it on the ground.

Next stop: Medair's Ebola treatment center, where these supplies will directly protect the health workers caring for patients every day.

Water is now in the hands of Puerto Rico communities who need it most.

Real people, real partners, and real water reaching the communities who need it most.

NEPAL NEEDS US and medical supplies aren't reaching the clinics and hospitals that need them most.

Hospitals are damaged. Roads are gone. And right now, almost nothing is getting through to the clinics and hospitals that need it most.

Nepal is facing a full-blown health crisis layered on top of a disaster that has already claimed hundreds of lives and the gap in medical supplies is widening by the day.

Working hand-in-hand with our partner on the ground, the Foundation, we're mapping exactly what's needed to get medical supply help to affected communities in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and beyond before more lives are lost.

This is just the beginning of our response. More is coming but we can't do it without you.

Share this. Donate. Help us help.
