The mission of the Afya Foundation of America: Supplies for Life is to generate the medical, surgical and community-health inventories needed to support well-established health initiatives in Africa and the Caribbean. The Afya Foundation serves as a donation-based clearinghouse, with the primary intent of partnering and supporting established organizations in the international health community. Since its inception in late 2007, the Afya Foundation has set up a network of donor hospitals, health organizations and corporations. It has successfully gathered and sorted supplies and repaired equipment, resulting in the shipment of containers and duffel bags filled with recovered supplies to Africa and the Caribbean. These efforts are only the beginning, and every single item in these shipments represents Afya's ongoing commitment to put all the materials gathered from the New York healthcare market to their optimal use abroad. Our reliability and efficiency has aided in our partnering with other organizations that represent program excellence in the international public health sector. We are a supplies source for numerous international health organizations. We're also involved with leaders in country throughout Africa. We strive to be a highly efficient and effective source of recycled medical supplies, while simultaneously forging systematic change in health care delivery abroad. Afya also contributes to positive health and environmental outcomes by reducing medical waste incineration.
