Receptionist/Administrative Volunteer

ABOUT THE AFYA FOUNDATION:
The Afya Foundation collects medical supplies and equipment from throughout the United States and ships these critical materials to health initiatives worldwide. Our model recognizes that each hospital, government and clinic abroad faces disparate public health conditions. We sort and categorize rescued supplies in order to ship individually tailored shipments to each partner.
Our regional network of medical supply donors and volunteers enables Afya to meet immediate humanitarian needs in areas devastated by natural disaster, public health crises or international conflicts in tandem with our long-term programs to address chronic health disparities. By reducing the amount of unused medical supplies in the US, Afya promotes efficient and environmentally aware healthcare practices at home while sustaining life abroad.

Afya takes pride in three areas of expertise:

• RESCUE surplus materials from hospitals utilizing a socially responsible and environmentally green mechanism.
• SORT donations with local volunteers engaged in our unique, structured and meaningful volunteer programs.
• DELIVER high quality specifically requested materials thereby increasing access to healthcare in areas with urgent supply needs.
