Review for Afya Foundation, Inc., Yonkers, NY, USA
such a simple idea that has been executed beautifully. They go to N.Y.C. area hospitals and pick up at no cost unused and good used equipment and medical supplies the hospitals no longer need. They warehouse and inventory the material in a Yonkers faciltiy and send clinics that they know in 3rd world countries a list of what goods they have available. They then ship them 40 foot containers of supplies. Their overhead runs about 8-9% of the goods shipped. An additional benefit is that they are performing a recycling function that saves lives. I know this to be true and have given them more than $20,000 to aid in their efforts.

In addition to several paid staff thet rely on and work with young people from Childrens Village to assist in packing and shipping. It teaches these kids about work and gives them something to feel good about themselves.
