OUR MISSION To improve the delivery of healthcare worldwide by gathering, processing and distributing surplus medical and health supplies to charities at home and abroad.
American Global Rescue (a.k.a. Ahiara Development Union USA, Inc.) demonstrates the principle of remembering one’s roots. Founded by a group of Nigerian immigrants in 1990, the Houston-based charity has spent the past 26-plus years serving the poor of their native communities in and around the area of Ahiara Mbaise, Nigeria. With the goals of feeding, clothing and providing healthcare to the less fortunate and empowering others via education, they are currently working to build and supply a children’s hospital
as well as a technical school and agricultural training center.
Globus Relief is actively involved in supporting these aims, having sent three loads of medical supplies to AGR over the past several months. As the members of AGR recognize, remembering one’s roots is essential to those that come after blossoming in the future.

Globus Relief
Globus Relief was founded in 1996. While working in the salvage retail industry, two Salt Lake City businessmen were saddened to see viable medical and hygiene supplies frequently sent to landfills. Certain that these surplus resources could be rescued and put to good use, they created Globus Relief to efficiently channel overstocked, gently used, or short-dated supplies to humanitarian projects in Utah and around the world.
Since our founding, Globus Relief has distributed over $1 billion (fair market value) of supplies to more than 800 charities at work in over 140 countries. Twenty full-time employees oversee the work of gathering, processing, and distributing humanitarian supplies in our 100,000-s.f. warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah. Volunteers contribute an average of 225 labor hours per week, the equivalent of 5.6 additional full-time employees.
Globus Relief is known for strong financial efficiency, historically keeping administrative and fundraising expenses to under 3% of our total budget.
