Americares is a health-focused relief and development organization that saves lives and improves health for people affected by urban poverty or disaster so they can reach their full potential. Our vision is a world in which all people have pathways to health and opportunity. With good health, people can attend school, be productive at work, care for their families and contribute to strong communities.

Americares helps communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters; increases access to critical medicines and medical supplies; delivers quality health care to people who have none; and designs and implements sustainable programs that strengthen community health.
