Because of the generosity of Amref Health Africa’s supporters, we activated on-ground measures as soon as the danger of the coronavirus became known and Africa’s first case was reported.
By immediately training Community Health Workers on COVID-19 in collaboration with health departments and community groups, and using technology to quickly spread information, Amref’s actions are already making a BIG difference.
Our strategy is to now scale up those actions and amplify their impact – quickly.
Your donation today will make sure the momentum builds so that together, we protect families in Africa from COVID-19 until vaccines are available.
The cost of non-action or delay will be measured in lives lost.
