About Medical Relief Alliance

MRA is a 501c 3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health and quality of life of people living in sub-Saharan Africa . MRA begun operations 7 years ago in Transmara district of Rift Valley, Kenya. Initially, through our Medical Supplies and Equipment Relief program, MRA mainly concentrated on rehabilitating local hospitals by providing medical supplies and technical assistance to improve health and quality of life of Kenyan communities. Over the years, MRA based in New York City has developed a network partnerships with US and Kenyan based hospitals, corporations, airlines and a multitude of professionals who volunteer their skills to the organization. Through these partnerships, MRA has sent numerous consignments of medical supplies and equipment to Kenya in the last six years. In the course of running the medical relief program, MRA became aware that many people in the communities we operate in were unaware of their HIV status mainly due to cultural and/or economic reasons. MRA then launched the Community Health Outreach program that coordinates a collaborative effort between local healthcare providers and the community members to enhance: voluntary HIV testing and counseling campaigns, and operates general health fares and mobile wellness clinics geared towards other public health initiatives. Meanwhile, in response to the unprecedented socioeconomic need that MRA was confronted with in Kenya due to HIV/AIDS pandemic, we further expanded programming in 2004. MRA Goat Project was established as a microenterprise that aims to support the economic and nutritional needs of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
