Legacy gifts are extremely important to further the work of Amref Health Africa. With a legacy gift in your will, we can, together, build a future where medical care is accessible to everyone in Africa today, tomorrow, forever.

With your support, we can reach even the most remote communities. Girls are being protected from harmful cultural practices. Families are staying healthy—because when people have access to care, they can care for themselves, support their loved ones, and build a path out of poverty and empower young people to know their rights and reach their potential.

The simplest method of planned giving is to leave a bequest in your will. A bequest is a written intention stating that you would like a certain amount of money or property to be given to Amref Health Africa in Canada (formerly African Medical Research Foundation – AMREF) at your passing.

Your will is designed to ensure that your wishes are met when the time comes. After you have taken care of your loved ones, this is a powerful way to support health equity through African-led health systems beyond your lifetime. It’s purposeful legacy of hope in the future of a bright and beautiful continent.
