2025 Year in Impact
As we look back on the past year, we are grateful for the partners, donors, and volunteers who made it possible to deliver critical support to communities around the world. Here’s a snapshot of what that support made possible this year:
- 152 shipments delivered to partners globally
- 17,000+ hygiene kits distributed to families and individuals in need
- More than $106 million in humanitarian aid impact provided across healthcare, disaster response, education, and infrastructure
In 2025, Brother’s Brother Foundation’s programs and relief efforts reached communities in 33 countries around the world. Through the support of our donors and partners, BBF continued to advance access to healthcare, strengthen disaster response, and invest in long-term, community-driven solutions across the regions we serve.
Throughout the year, BBF shipped more than 114 container equivalents of relief supplies and supported partner-led programs on the ground. Our work improved access to healthcare through the distribution of essential medical equipment, supplies, and pharmaceuticals, while also responding to major disasters including the Texas floods, Kentucky tornadoes, and the hurricane in Jamaica. At the same time, BBF continued supporting education initiatives in Pittsburgh and in communities around the world.
In healthcare and infrastructure, BBF funded trauma surgical training for healthcare professionals in Ukraine, oversaw the construction of St. Andrew’s School in Mulanje, Malawi, and equipped a computer lab for a partner organization in Florida to provide workforce training and job search support for at-risk youth. Solar installations were completed at clinics in India and Liberia, strengthening reliable access to power for patient care and clinical services.
The year began with a large-scale response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. BBF partnered with food banks, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), free and charitable clinics, community organizations, public school districts, and animal shelters to support families and communities affected by the disaster. Following the July 4th weekend, BBF’s response to flooding in Texas and the tragic loss of life at a girls’ summer camp in Kerr County became a major focus. BBF provided financial support for search and rescue efforts and for addressing urgent basic needs in the impacted communities.
Locally, BBF presented an Audiology Mobile Clinic to the Eye and Ear Foundation, operated in collaboration with researchers and students from the University of Pittsburgh. This marks the fifth mobile clinic BBF has provided to implementation partners to improve access to care in underserved communities.
BBF also responded to tornadoes in Mississippi and Kentucky and continued its long-term partnership with Hope for Ghana to dredge and expand the Jarigu Dam, a project that will improve water quality, promote better health outcomes, and prevent waterborne disease for more than 8,000 people.
In the fall, BBF helped fund a mobile pharmacy unit for the Mountain Area Health Education Center in Asheville, North Carolina, improving access to medications for patients in rural communities. Through funding from the Eden Hall Foundation, BBF also supported Mulanje Mission Hospital in southern Malawi, strengthening maternal and reproductive health services, sustaining HIV care, expanding eye care programs, and continuing malaria prevention efforts.
In 2025, BBF sent over 173 million doses of medicine through healthcare shipments to partners in 25 countries. BBF also supported medical-surgical missions to El Salvador, Ghana, Nigeria, and Nepal by providing pharmaceuticals and surgical instruments, funded a rooftop solar system with battery backup at the Pawana Health and Wellness Center in Bihar, India, and delivered battery and system upgrades at medical facilities in Liberia.
Across every program area in 2025, BBF’s work reflected a consistent commitment to practical solutions, strong partnerships, and sustained impact—meeting immediate needs while building long-term capacity in the communities we serve.
