Heal A Village
Essential medicines
Problem
There are approximately 250,000 Indigenous and Mestizo people living in the Amazon Jungle in Peru. These people are very poor, uneducated, and isolated socially and politically from the rest of Peru. They have limited access to public services, healthcare, and education. There are few options for health care in these remote villages, and every day people die of infections, injuries, malnutrition and preventable diseases.
The Gift
This gift will provide 500-700 treatments including but not limited to antibiotics, analgesics, topical anti-fungal cream, anti-parasite medication, oral rehydration salts, wound care and dressing supplies, and vitamin supplements.
