Disaster Response Fund

With years of disaster response experience, Afya is prepared to act the moment a crisis occurs. Our method is shaped by what we’ve learned responding to hurricanes, conflicts, and climate-driven emergencies, allowing us to move fast, deliver the right medical supplies, and support health systems under pressure.

Afya responds to disasters by delivering critical medical supplies to hospitals and health facilities serving communities in crisis. Our work is grounded in strong local partnerships that allow us to move quickly and effectively when health systems are under strain.

We work in close collaboration with:

• Local ministries of health
• Hospitals and frontline health care providers
• Trusted partners on the ground

This approach ensures that every response is timely, targeted, and informed by real needs.

Disasters don’t wait, and neither can we.

The Disaster Response Fund allows Afya to:

• Respond immediately without waiting for emergency fundraising
• Support crises that don’t make global headlines
• Pre-position medical supplies ahead of disasters
• Deploy staff to assess needs and coordinate care

Preparedness saves lives. Support us in staying prepared.
