Mobile health clinic
A clinic on wheels that brings a nurse, a doctor, and basic medicine to villages two hours from the nearest hospital.
In the valley villages, the nearest hospital is two hours away by bus, and the bus runs twice a day. A fever, a cut that will not heal, or a blood pressure check means a lost day of work and money most families do not have.
Why it matters
Small health problems left alone become emergencies. A diabetic who cannot get a check-up loses sight. A child’s ear infection becomes hearing loss. Most of these problems are cheap and simple to treat when someone sees them early.
The mobile clinic brings the care to the people. A nurse and a doctor visit each village every two weeks, on a published schedule, with medicine, test kits, and a private room in the van.
The goal pays for the second year of the clinic: staff, medicine, fuel, and the van’s upkeep. We publish the number of patients seen every month on this page.
Patients pay nothing. Nobody is asked for papers or proof of income.

Before you give
Questions about giving to a cause
Short answers. The FAQ has the rest, grouped by topic.
All questionsCan I choose where my gift goes?
Yes. A gift made from a cause page goes to that cause. A general gift goes where the need is greatest that month.
What happens if a cause raises more than its goal?
The extra goes to the same kind of work: more backpacks, more beds, more wells. We say so on the cause page.
What happens if a cause does not reach its goal?
We still spend every gift on that cause, and we tell you on the cause page what was funded and what was not.
