To ship medical equipment to Africa
Donation protected
In Africa, very deplorable health and sanitary conditions are the root causes of the rampant and frequent occurrences of pandemics and epidemics like Ebola, polio, typhoid, and malaria that continues to ravage the continent in this day and age.
It is one of the tragedies of our time that, in almost all of the African countries, healthcare facilities are destitute and indigent, at best. At worst, and in many of the African countries, the most rudimentary of healthcare facilities is completely lacking. Routinely and needlessly, men, women, and children die of the most easily preventable and curable of illnesses and diseases like fever, headache, and diarrhea.
In Africa today, one in 4 children still die before their first birthday; one in 5 women still die in child-birth. The average life span of Africans is still miserably at 47 years. The ugly statistics go on and on.
It is mind-boggling and stomach-churning to hear these numbers on the evening news, to watch the effects of the preventable illnesses on the television, or to read about the increasing death tolls.
Africa We Care, dedicated to the alleviation of suffering in Africa, has embarked on addressing this intractable healthcare issue.
Recently, Africa We Care acquired a run-down, ill-equipped medical clinic in Nigeria, with a view to renovating, revamping, and reequipping it. At the same time, it entered into a cooperative working arrangement with the husband-and-wife medical doctors who run the facility.
Here in Canada, Africa We Care has acquired medical equipment, furniture, and supplies enough to fill nine 40-foot sea can containers. It was the Gibeault Family from Morinville, Alberta, who collected these life-saving equipment and supplies through their humanitarian efforts, and wanted them to go where they would save lives.
Africa We Care is raising funds through gofundme.com to enable it defray the shipping cost of these medical equipment and supplies to Nigeria.
We need your support.
No amount is too small, as your support will go a long way in helping to alleviate suffering in Africa.
