Hands That Heal

Every life saved begins with one pair of skilled hands. Across Africa, millions of people lack access to basic healthcare -- but you can change this. Your gift helps train the next generation of nurses, midwives, and community health workers who bring care, comfort, and hope to where it’s needed most.


Train one. Heal thousands.

Across Africa, millions of families depend on skilled health workers as their first and only point of care — but there aren’t enough of them. Africa bears 25% of the world’s disease burden, yet has only 3% of its trained health professionals. Amref Health Africa is changing that through Amref International University (AMIU); training the next generation of nurses, midwives, and community health workers who bring care where it’s needed most.

These are the Hands That Heal: the people who save lives every day, and how your support can help train one and heal thousands. Your generosity funds scholarships, clinical training, and vital campus resources that prepare students to save lives for generations to come.

“This is about more than a university — it’s about building the future of Africa’s healthcare.”
