About Us

Empowering Communities, Enhancing Lives!

MATRA envisions a future where every community in Africa has access to quality healthcare and benefits from effective waste management practices. Our mission is to deliver critical medical aid to healthcare facilities in Africa and promote the recycling of textiles to reduce waste and support community development. This mission is driven by a set of core values including compassion, sustainability, integrity, collaboration, and innovation.

The organization’s primary objective is to supply hospitals and clinics in Africa with essential medical equipment and supplies. By collecting surplus medical supplies from UK healthcare facilities, MATRA ensures these valuable resources are redistributed to where they are needed most.
