About Us
Americares is a health-focused relief and development organization that saves lives and improves health for people affected by poverty or disaster. For more than 40 years, we have responded rapidly and effectively to the needs of our local partners and their communities.
A World of Opportunity
We envision a world in which all people have pathways to health and opportunity. A deeply collaborative organization, we have built an unrivaled network of local, national and international partners delivering clinical services, emergency programs and access to medicine.
With our partners and donors, we create thoughtful solutions and long-term change for some of the world’s most complex community health problems in the U.S. and around the world. We provide unparalleled leverage for donors’ philanthropic dollars by using donated medicine and supplies and the local infrastructure of our partners to build community health.
Americares saves lives and improves health for people affected by poverty or disaster so they can reach their full potential. For people affected by poverty or disaster, health is essential to a better future. With good health, they can attend school, be productive at work, care for their families and contribute to strong communities. Poor health puts all of those opportunities at risk. Health is fundamental to all aspects of development.
What We Do
When people are in crisis, we make sure that health comes first. Our Emergency Programs help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. We provide millions of people around the world Access to Medicine and supplies. Our Clinical Services deliver quality health care for people who have none. We create and support sustainable programs that strengthen Community Health.

Our Focus
Good health changes everything. With good health, children can learn, parents can provide and neighbors can work together to build, and rebuild, their communities. For millions of people around the world, however, poverty and disaster put health at risk. We strive to make good health possible—and with it, a chance at a full, productive life.
Our Strategy
A critical way to make good health possible, confirmed through decades of work around the world, is to make smart investments in local health centers—health posts, hospitals and clinics anchored in communities. They are the entry point to the health system, where a majority of health needs can be met. When local health centers do their job well they catalyze health improvements for people and their communities.
Our Goal
Our long-term goal is that everyone affected by poverty or disaster has access to a thriving local health center. To make progress toward that goal over the next 10 years, we will make transformative investments in more than 5,000 local health centers, rally others to support them, and advocate on their behalf.
