International affiliates
AMURT UK is affiliated to the following International Organisations that share our mission and philosophy.
AMURT GLOBAL – AMURT’s global coordinating office is based in the US. At times of humanitarian disaster international AMURT chapters liaise with this office to find out how to best support the AMURT chapter closest to where the disaster has occurred. This support may come in the form of fundraising, sending experts or additional volunteers.
AMURTEL – it is an organization managed by women, for women. Founded in 1975 to respond specifically to the problems faced by women and children in their struggle to meaningfully develop in all areas of life.

AMURTEL Greece
AMURTEL Greece runs the Athens Refugee Mother and Baby Centre. It is the only woman-to-woman maternity service for refugees in Athens. It provides these vulnerable women with pre-natal care and examinations, preparation for labour, post-natal care, and breastfeeding/infant feeding consultations. Most women don’t speak Greek and have limited English. The care women get ensures they receive important medical tests and can ask questions using interpreters. This is vital for theirs and their child’s physical health, and psychological wellbeing.
The application of this woman-centred model of care has proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury/trauma (physically and mentally) and reduce incidences of postnatal depression, as well as enhance chances of early and continued breastfeeding and bonding of mother and baby.

AMURTEL Romania runs various projects including a Children’s Home and the Fountain of Hope After Schools Centre. They have also been very active in supporting Ukrainian Refugees, particularly children, when they cross the border into Siret, Romania. There focus is on transforming the life of children.
