Healthcare

WHO Reports half the world’s population cannot access critical health services.

Health services for mothers and children in the poorest households of developing countries are chronically underserved. In addition, pre-natal and post-natal child health services are shockingly inadequate. As followers of Jesus Christ, our purpose is to bridge the gap between poverty and quality care.

Rural children are less likely to receive preventive and curative health services. This is because of lack of access coupled with an inability to pay for services. Children can grow up in a cycle of poverty and poor health outcomes in these circumstances. Children of widows are at particular risk for malnutrition since they have less education, poor access to health services, and live in substandard conditions.

Rural Children Are Least Likely to Receive Needed Healthcare

Pandemic Changes

The pandemic has heightened economic and social insecurity among these poorest communities. COVID’s effect will impact children’s health due to pandemic care priorities and long-term exposure to stress. The COVID-19 pandemic is worsening inequalities in health outcomes among vulnerable populations.

Ending Stigmatization & Disease

Children orphaned due to AIDS, cancer, sickle-cell anemia, or other diseases are often subject to discrimination. These poor children are often left with no healthcare access.

Lack of Rural Healthcare

We provide treatment and protection from diseases like pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea. Many rural areas have a limited number of health care providers, particularly female providers. Access to mental health providers and services is also scarce. The availability of specialists like obstetricians, pediatricians, and oncologists is almost non-existent in nonmetropolitan areas.

Give Generously

The need is huge. According to a UNICEF study, over thirteen thousand children die daily from treatable diseases. Imagine that many children dying from preventable diseases. It’s not easy. Thirteen thousand children dying is a statistic, something impossible to visualize. One child dying is a tragedy. Imagine one child dead from preventable disease, the child’s lifeless body in a makeshift clinic’s bed, or at home on a dirt floor. This happens thirteen thousand times a day.
