Americares helps people and communities around the world access health in times of disaster and every day. We respond to more than 35 natural disasters and humanitarian crises worldwide each year, establish long-term recovery projects, and bring preparedness programs to communities vulnerable to disasters.

Why Donate to Americares ?

With good health, people can attend school, be productive at work, care for their families and contribute to strong communities. For more than 45 years, Americares has met the health needs of our local partners and their communities. Each year, Americares reaches 80 countries and millions of people with life-changing health programs, medicine, medical supplies and emergency aid. Our work is powered by expertise in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); mental health; maternal and child health; infectious and chronic disease; and health equity. We take a holistic approach to health, delivering not just supplies, but dignity, equity, and resilience through every program.
