Afya's work not only improves health outcomes but also strengthens communities and protects the environment. They have collected over 11.6 million pounds of usable medical and humanitarian supplies that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

Casita Maria, headquartered in the South Bronx, was established in 1934 by Claire and Elizabeth Sullivan as the first charitable organization to serve Latinos in New York City. Operating from a five-room tenement apartment in East Harlem, the Sullivan sisters, public school teachers who were also relatives of TV personality Ed Sullivan, had a primary mission to offer after school enrichment and recreational activities for the children of newly arrived families from Puerto Rico.
