Hillary receives the medication he desperately needs

Thank you all for supporting Humanity for Children. Your generous contributions funded a month of medical care for someone like Hillary, who struggled to combat the symptoms of pneumonia and finally got access to invaluable medication.

Humanity for Children was created out of the growing need for medical care, especially for children in the developing world. Many rural areas are not aware of basic healthcare needs such as vaccinations, child-care checkups, and basic medicines when they are sick. Most families can only afford to send their children to the free primary schools, regardless of grades as they cannot afford the cost of upper education. This has created a growing problem in this area, as children are often ill with preventable, treatable, or curable illnesses and do not live up to their potential both developmentally and intellectually. This disrupts not only their growth and well being, but also that of the family and town as a whole.

Humanity for Children sponsors the local clinic in Rota, Kenya where clinical officers treat 1,500-1,800 women and children a month. Local clinics such as the one run by Humanity for Children are especially important in Kenya where there is only 1 doctor per 10,000 people.
