Citi Health partners with Amref Health Africa

As a business which believes in the power of preventative healthcare, Citi Health is always keen to support the work of organisations which provide protection to communities without access to vital healthcare services.   

For five years we were proud to donate to UNICEF’s ‘Get a jab, Give a Jab’ campaign. Last year, when that programme came to an end, we wanted to keep contributing towards healthcare initiatives for communities at risk and, as a female-run business, to support women and children within those communities.  

To that end we are thrilled to say we will now be working with Amref Health Africa, a charity which has been changing lives across Africa since 1957:

·      Amref works with some of the most remote and marginalised communities in 35 countries on the African continent; they have reached over 110 million individuals and trained 12 million health workers to date.

·      Immunisation is a foundational intervention in the vast majority of Amref’s projects, but particularly those focused on maternal, newborn and child health.

·      They believe, as do we, that change must be community-led. To this end, Amref works often with women and girls, unlocking their potential to effect lasting change for themselves, their families, and their wider communities.

·      Amref tailors its approach to each individual community: in Kenya it has fully-equipped mobile clinic units delivering vaccination and other essential health services, while in Ethiopia it provides midwives in remote areas with backpack-kits for essential perinatal care.

From now on, Citi Health’s annual donation to Amref will help to fund programmes bringing vaccines and vital healthcare to families living in remote communities across Africa. This means every time an organisation books a vaccination clinic with us, they know they are not only protecting their own workforce, but also protecting communities at risk by helping Amref to deliver its life-changing health services to those most in need.  

We look forward to sharing more on the incredible work Amref does in due course.
