It is amazing how well behaved and patient children are in the developing world.  None of these three children were ill, but received a checkup, toothbrush, multi-vitamins, and anti-worm medication thanks to your donation! They waited for it patiently, and were very eager to receive.

Along with seven other children, these three children were given the medical care and attention they need. Thank you so much for your donation–it helps more than you know!

One year old Iradukunda lives almost 5km away from Gashanda Health Post and received zinc and multi-vitamins for a cold thanks to your donation.

Iradukunda is just one of the ten children your donation impacted. With your donation, Gashanda Health Post can provide care to young children in the community. Thank you for your help, Max!

Dear George,

Often parents have problems also and are seen alongside their children.  Although our clinics are primarily for children, some of our supplies treat them also.  A 2 year old named Divine had a cough and diarrhea and received zinc and multi-vitamins.  Her mother had cracked calloused feet and was given ibuprofen and told to soak her feet 3 times daily.  Your donation goes a long way for this family and many others.  Thank you for your donation making a meaningful difference in Divine’s life.

Vincent is 4 1/2 years old in Gashanda and showed up at the clinic with diarrhea and a rash.  He was also diagnosed with worms and given anti-worm treatment.  Thank you for your generaous donation that is making a meaningful difference in Vincent’s health.

Divine is 17 months old and lives in Gashanda, Rwanda.  She was having a long lasting cold and a rash and was diagnosed with worms.  Thanks to your donation she received anti-worm medication and multi-vitamins.  Thank you for your generous donation making a meaningful difference in the life fo Divine.

Our clinical officer, Kespa, is very well liked in the community and spends quality time with her patients – a rarity anywhere!  Here we see her talking to the patient to find out the problem and history and then thoroughly examining the patient.

After this she will decide upon the correct course of action of treatment.  In this case,  Anna has brought her daughter Rose in for a fever.  Since there are no x-rays at Rota, the diagnosis must be made by physical exam.

Kespa listens carefully, takes the pulse, feels the stomach, and looks in Rose’s ears. Since she heard crackles in the chest she knows that Rose has pneumonia and needs antibiotics which were supplied by Humanity for Children.  This allows Anna to go home assured that Rose is getting good care and will soon be well.

Without a clinical officer on site, she would have had to go 15km to Kisumu to see a doctor and then would have needed to buy the medications herself.  This is almost impossible for the people of Rota. Likely, Anna would have just waited and seen how Rose did. Thanks to you Rose and 1500 other children were able to be seen and diagnosed in Rota. Since HFC began supporting a clinical officer in Rota last year, no child has died in the area. This is a testament to the worth of your donations! Your donations are definitely saving lives!

Thank you very much Molly, Mark & Lisbet, Bill, Marty & Lorri, Leo (2 days!), Richard, Wat, Rick & Beth, Sanjiv-Rajani, Susan, Jerame, Dwayne & Terese, Dean & Julie, Haris, Sabrina, Audrey (3 days!), Linda (2 days!), Donna, Nicole, Joel, Marisa (2 days!), Emily & Drew, Scott and Allan (2 days!) for helping to support our clinical officer, in Rota, Kenya for one month!

John waits patiently for his turn to be seen in Rota, Kenya.  John is 4 and had an infected tooth.  He was given medications from your donation and referred to the dentist for treatment.

Thank you for helping Jhon meet his basic health needs!

Ephram and his sister were seen in our Rota, Kenya, clinic.  He was given antifungal cream for a skin infection and they were both given deworming medications and multivitamins from your donation.

Thank you for helping both of them return to a healthy condition!

Tom and his mother are waiting to be seen at our Rota, Kenya, dispensary.  Tom is 15 months old and was diagnosed with pneumonia.  He received medication from your donation.

Thank you for your critical donation to give Tom a chance for a healthy start.
