Our work in Tanzania
Tanzania's escalating HIV epidemic is contributing to the country’s health crisis, as well as high maternal death rates and severe health worker shortages.
Our work in South Sudan
Following an almost unanimous vote for independence in a referendum last year, the Republic of South Sudan is Africa's newest state. It has great potential, natural resources and support from the international community.
Our work in Uganda
Joint efforts by the Ugandan Ministry of Health and AMREF have in recent years improved overall access to better health for its people. Today, 72% of the population lives within 5km of a health facility, up from 49% several years ago.
Our work in South Africa
Though one of Africa’s strongest economies, the HIV epidemic has taken a severe toll on South Africa’s workforce. It has also left 1.2 million children orphaned and shows no signs of abating.
Our work in Kenya
Kenya’s population has risen to about 35 million. This has placed a tremendous strain on the health system already constrained from soaring rates of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
Our work in Ethiopia
Lack of access to safe water, bad sanitation and inadequate health care mean that in Ethiopia preventable illnesses too often prove fatal.
Our work in Senegal
A major achievement in 2011 was the extension of AMREF’s outreach work to West Africa.
AMREF opened it offices in Senegal in August 2011. This is AMREF’s first programme office in West Africa, and it will also serve as a hub for Francophone Africa.
