For 30 years, the success of AmeriCares has been characterized by timely response, meaningful impact, high integrity and intense passion for the work. To deliver medicine, relief supplies and health care to the needy, AmeriCares has developed a platform based on strategic partnerships, high-efficiency and tight auditing procedures.
Since its founding, AmeriCares has provided more than $10 billion of aid to 164 countries. To accomplish these results, AmeriCares assembles product donations from the private sector, determines the most urgent needs and solicits the funding to send the aid via airlift or ocean cargo to health and welfare professionals in the indigent locations.
On the ground, AmeriCares works with international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), hospitals, health networks and government ministries of long-standing effectiveness such as the Order of Malta, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) International, HOPE Worldwide, Project Mercy, and Help The Afghan Children. Warehouses in the U.S., Europe, and India serve as assembly centers for inventory.
In some instances, where products such as medicines or medical supplies are not available through conventional channels and the need is critical, AmeriCares applies funds for direct purchases.
Uncompromising security procedures assure that the assistance is distributed to the designated beneficiaries and not diverted. For example, AmeriCares ensures there is all-inclusive tracking of medicine by lot number and conducts thorough follow-ups.
The model is time-tested, cost-effective, and experience-driven. Because we deliver donated medicines, medical supplies and humanitarian aid to an established and trusted network of locally based clinics, hospitals and health care providers around the world and here at home, the impact of the contributions supporters provide is multiplied many, many times over. Historically, for every $1 donated we are able to deliver $25 in humanitarian relief to people in need.
