Hello friends and supporters,
We wanted to give you an honest update on our Community Healthcare for All program in South Africa.
Unfortunately, fundraising has been very limited recently, and we’ve only raised $500. After meeting with the local community, we agreed that our previous ambitious plans aren’t realistic at the moment. To ensure we remain visible and active, we’re moving our operations to a shared community space at the local primary school right in the heart of where people live and gather.
Our updated focus areas:
Hygiene and safety: Many residents use shared toilets and lack running water in their homes, so we’re raising awareness about hygiene practices and airborne disease prevention.
Sexual health and family planning: We are seeing more teenage mothers and women with multiple children living in extreme poverty. Our small-group sessions will provide education, advice, and resources to help families make informed choices.
How we’re making an impact:
While we cannot run large-scale campaigns right now, our small, regular workshops are helping community members adopt safer practices and increase awareness bit by bit. Staying consistent is our priority even small steps lead to lasting change.
We remain committed to this community and to improving health outcomes in a sustainable, realistic way. Every donation, share, or word-of-mouth message helps keep these programs running and supports people who need this guidance most.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’re making a difference, even when times are tough.
