Trusts & Foundations

An AMREF trained health worker giving a vaccineAMREF's work would not be possible without the partnerships we have with a wide range of charitable trusts and foundations. Our trust donors provide essential and lifesaving support to our work in Africa.

Many generous trusts and foundations donate to our general funds. This essential support allows us the freedom to develop and grow our projects, as well as strengthen and invest in our work for the future. At the same time we have partnerships with trusts and foundations who decide to fund specific projects, often co-funding with the European Commission (EC) and other donors. This investment in larger projects enables us to harness more funding from the EC.

What has this support achieved?

This vital support over the past year has enabled AMREF to develop a maternal, newborn and child health programme helping over 40,000 mothers and 35,000 children in Africa's largest slum, Kibera; empower 70,000 remote pastoralists in South Omo to gain access to essential and lifesaving health care; and prevent, diagnose and treat malaria in over 200,000 people in the Mtwara district of Tanzania.

How you can help

AMREF is very keen to build new relationships with trusts and foundations that are interested in our work and share our vision of 'better health for Africa.'

Whatever the size of your donation you will be helping AMREF to save lives across Africa. We are committed to providing high quality information to trusts and foundations including detailed proposals to fit with your current grant making, and regular and detailed reports on how your grant has been spent and what the impact has been on communities in Africa.
