what we do
A recent study of patients under the care of the malnutrition clinic found that 90% of mothers had lost at least one child from birth within the past 10 years through illness, disease or malnutrition.
Medical insurance is a key part of this breaking this cycle of poverty.
We fund what people need the most- that’s it.
