In the wake of the terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas, Afya has mobilized to offer urgent and long-term support to people who are affected, working with our partners to aid those caring for the injured and suffering.
As an international NGO, Afya has responded efficiently and effectively to multiple disasters—natural and manmade worldwide over the years. We are working to address medical and humanitarian needs through partnerships with NGOs, hospitals treating the injured, and clinics tending to the thousands of displaced.

Healthcare providers and relief workers around the world rely on Afya, knowing they can depend on us to arrive quickly and effectively whenever and wherever needed. But to continue to be an organization others can count on, we need your support. So please make a difference by donating today.
