Our Challange
If you’re like most people, the needs of the Majority World seem distant, unreachable and overwhelming. You want to help, but it’s difficult to understand how you can actually make a difference in countries where something as simple as safe drinking water and medical care are impossible to access. The vast scope of need seems too much for one person to make a significant impact.
Tropical Health Alliance Foundation (THAF) is an all-volunteer organization founded and operated by people who understand this reality. The foundation is designed to work with programs that address issues facing the largest number of people in the areas they serve.

Our Use of Money
THAF subtracts NOTHING for our administrative costs–100% of your donation goes to charity. You may ask how we do it. Like all non-profit organizations, we do have administrative costs, however, we raise funding for these expenses independently so that ALL of your donation goes directly to our projects.
