Partner with a team that puts your support in front of patients
AFCA is a small, clinician-led organisation with very low overheads. Our doctors, nurses and pharmacists volunteer their time, which means partner contributions go almost entirely into the things that cannot be donated as labour: medicine, diagnostics, transport and equipment.
For a company, a hospital, a supplier or a council, that makes AFCA an unusually direct route from contribution to visible outcome — a specific community, on a specific day, with a specific number of people treated.
- Volunteer clinical model keeps overheads low
- Support is tied to identifiable campaigns and communities
- Reporting provided back to partners after each campaign
- Registration and governance documents available on request
Partners we are looking for
Different organisations help in very different ways. All of them shorten the distance between a patient and a doctor.
Hospitals and clinics
Referral pathways for patients we cannot treat on the day, loan of equipment, and clinicians released to join campaigns.
Pharmaceutical suppliers and distributors
In-date medication and consumables. This is the single most valuable in-kind contribution AFCA can receive.
Companies and CSR programmes
Funding a named campaign, sponsoring medication for a community, or contributing transport, printing and logistics.
Councils, chiefdoms and health districts
Co-hosting outreach, identifying communities in greatest need, providing venues and mobilising residents in advance.
Faith organisations and schools
Venues, volunteers, and trusted local reach into communities that formal outreach struggles to contact.
NGOs and development partners
Joint campaigns, shared logistics, complementary programmes in nutrition, water, sanitation and maternal health.
Practical ways to work together
| Type of support | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Campaign sponsorship | You fund a named outreach in a specific community. We report back on where it ran, what was delivered and how many people were seen. |
| Medication supply | You donate in-date medicines, test kits or consumables. We tell you in advance what the next campaign actually needs, so nothing is wasted. |
| Equipment provision | Durable items — blood pressure monitors, glucometers, scales, lamps — that serve campaign after campaign rather than a single day. |
| Staff volunteering | Your clinical staff join a campaign as AFCA volunteers. Meaningful for employee engagement and immediately useful to us. |
| Referral partnership | Your facility accepts referrals for patients needing surgery, imaging or specialist care that an outreach clinic cannot provide. |
| Venue and mobilisation | Councils, chiefdoms, schools and places of worship provide the space and get word out so the right people attend. |
| Logistics and transport | Vehicles, fuel or freight to move a clinical team and its supplies to communities that are hard to reach. |
What AFCA commits to in return
Partnership is a two-way arrangement. Organisations that support us are entitled to know exactly what happened with their contribution.
An honest assessment up front
We will tell you what we actually need rather than accepting whatever is offered. If your proposed contribution is not useful, we will say so and suggest what would be.
Documentation for due diligence
Registration certificates, governance details and organisational information provided on request, so your compliance team can do its job.
Reporting after the campaign
Where the outreach ran, what was delivered, and what your contribution covered.
Appropriate acknowledgement
Recognition of your organisation in campaign communications, at a level you are comfortable with — including none, if you prefer to give quietly.
Before you commit
Reputable partners should ask questions before funding any NGO. We welcome them. Ask us for:
- Certificate of registration and legal status
- Names and roles of the leadership team
- How funds and in-kind donations are handled
- Reporting you will receive, and when
- References from previous partners
