AMREF HEALTH AFRICA

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.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity is endorsed by a respected charity impact evaluator
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Rubbish is rarely collected, and there are few proper toilets. Many people, especially children have diarrhoea.This project plans to train health workers and volunteers, and construct communal toilets and showers. They will be run by local people who will charge small fees to people who use them.
