The Batey Relief Alliance (BRA), founded in 1997, is a nonprofit organization (Brooklyn, New York) that provides health care, development and humanitarian programs for people severely affected by poverty, disease and hunger in the Caribbean.

Batey unites grassroot groups, faith-based organizations, government agencies and international organizations in strategic partnerships. In 2003, the government of the Dominican Republic donated land and buildings to BRA projects.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Dominican-born former U.S. major league baseball player and coach, Tony Pena, are supporters of BRA.

In 2000, a regional branch office, BRA Dominicana, was opened in the Dominican Republic to work on projects in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican operations include two modern medical facilities and more than a dozen health and development projects focusing on areas such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, nutrition, water, sanitation, health and eye care and micro-credit loans.

More than 75% of the HIV/AIDS cases in the Caribbean come from Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In June 2008, Batey Relief Alliance organized brought together top health officials  from Haiti and the Dominican Republic to gather their support for programs focusing on healthcare and HIV/AIDS, especially in poverty stricken and isolated communities.

In the USA, Batey Relief Alliance raises public awareness on humanitarian issues such as inequity, racial intolerance, human rights and HIV/AIDS through international conferences and educational programs.
