Medical Care
Our desire - when able - is to alleviate some of that suffering by covering medical costs for people in desperate need.
C-SECTION KITS
Maternal mortality from obstructed labour in Uganda is one of the leading causes of maternal and infant mortality.
These women need emergency c-section - but sadly Ugandan hospitals are not always well equipped, with even the basic items needed for an emergency c-section.
This often leads then to delays in performing the procedure, while the necessary items are sourced.
That time of waiting usually leads to the death of the unborn baby, and severe complications or death for the mother.
We saw this need first hand, with Dr Rob's work at local hospitals and have now crafted emergency c-section kits. These are equipped with all the items needed for an emergencyc-section.
For $50 you can help us save the lives of women and infants by purchasing one of these kits. We then pass them on to local hospitals.
You can purchase it on behalf of someone else and we can email you a card to print and write in and give to someone. Send us an email today to find out more information or to purchase a kit.
Medical Fund
We currently run a medical fund which provides support on an individual needs basis. Its incredibly common in Uganda for people to die prematurely or continue suffering from curable conditions - purely because they do not have the means necessary to pay for the appropriate medical care.
Our desire - when able - is to alleviate some of that suffering by covering medical costs for people in desperate need. Money raised over time goes towards helping to fund any number of medical care needs. Then when we hear of a need - we do our part in paying the medical expenses.
We have paid for medicine for sick children, paid for an operation on a young girls throat, we have paid for treatment for disabled children and paid for new prosthetic limbs, we are currently paying for palletive care for a woman in her final stages of her fight against cervical cancer. Many times we provide funding and treatment for wound care and surgical care for boys living on the streets.
