CAF-Africa

The Covid-19 Action Fund for Africa is working to safeguard essential health services during the Covid-19 pandemic by providing PPE to up to 1 million community health workers in 20 African countries for one year. These workers provide health services to over 400 million people across Africa in communities otherwise underserved by formal health systems. “This Fund has made a big impact quickly, but there is much work to be done. Community health workers are essential to public health efforts.” - Thomas Tighe, President, and CEO of Direct Relief, which anchored CAF-Africa and has managed the PPE purchasing.
