Our life-changing work is in Sub-Saharan Africa. While all our programs are designed to give vulnerable children and families life-changing medical and rehabilitative care, different countries and regions have different needs. And different local partners have different areas of expertise.
What does that mean for you? It means your gift of sight-giving surgery will go to Cameroon, Eswatini or Malawi. Your gift of assistive devices will go to Cameroon, Eswatini, Malawi, Tanzania or Zambia. Your gift of goats, chickens or pigs will go to Malawi. Your gift of water will go to Ethiopia. And medical care will go to Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda or Zambia.
The cost of each item is determined by our partner’s budget and how many people they will be serving with that budget. Quite often, we calculate an average per child/caregiver or family cost across several partners in a number of countries. Then we add on the handling fees to accept, track and get needed resources to our partners, ensuring your gift has maximum and measurable impact.
Because a generous company or individual donor has donated all or a portion of the medical equipment, medicine or assistive device, your gift that pays for the shipping, handling and/or distribution for a portion of the item, has a multiplied impact. The amount of the multiplier is calculated based on total program cost, donated value and the value of your gift that ensures the item gets to a client in need. For example, when you choose to stop a child's needless pain and blindness, every dollar you give will get already donated medication into the hands of frontline workers giving kids facing blinding trachoma sight-saving care. Your gift will multiply 4X to save the sight of 4X as many kids.
