Community Health

While there is very basic health care for poor families, it does not cover emergencies or accidents which require surgery or prolonged medication and treatment. Also, the quality of Government funded health care is unfortunately of a low standard.

Some people we’ve been able to support in the local community have required lifesaving surgeries or simply needed support for hospitalisation during crisis. Where possible we provide funding to cover the expenses incurred. Often it may be the main income earner who is ill. So rapid response to health emergencies means they are back to work supporting their families sooner.
