The problem

Hospitals and shelters run short of basic medicines and equipment. Women in rural areas travel far for care, and too many mothers still die from causes medicine knows how to prevent.

What we've done

$30K+ in medicines and equipment delivered to Debre Berhan Hospital (2022), Mekedonia, and Abebech Gobena (2025), sourced with Americares, MAP International and Global Health Ministries.

100 orphans at Zewditu Meshesha received dental kits, and 50+ were screened by volunteer dentists (August 2025).
