Amref Health Africa UK

International NGO from the United Kingdom

Amref Health Africa is Africa's leading health development organisation. Headquartered in Nairobi, we work with some of the most remote and marginalised communities on the African continent, ensuring they can access their right to health. We believe women and girls have the power to effect lasting change in their communities: that?s why they?re at the heart of everything we do.

Where the money comes from (2025)

Public funds 17% (£927,856) · Other income 83%

Public funds: grants and contracts from government bodies as declared to the Charity Commission. Other income includes donations, legacies, trading and investments. Many organisations record funds from UN agencies and the European Union as income from charitable activities: in that case the public share is underestimated.
