This urgent 90-day micro project will provide immediate health insurance for 200 vulnerable women and girls in Ethiopia's conflict-ravaged Amhara region. Displaced by war and trapped in poverty, they currently have zero access to healthcare. Your support will cover 3 months of comprehensive insurance-including maternal care, emergency services, and chronic disease management-delivering lifesaving care and restoring dignity when it's needed most.
Amhara remains an active conflict zone. Healthcare infrastructure is shattered, and thousands of women and girls-many displaced, traumatized, and impoverished-are suffering without any medical access. The cost of a single clinic visit is impossible for families who have lost everything. Preventable diseases go untreated, childbirth becomes deadly, and chronic conditions become crises. This is a daily, silent emergency for the most marginalized.
With $5,000, BDCA will enroll 200 of the most vulnerable women and girls in a 3-month health insurance plan. This direct coverage grants them immediate access to a network of local clinics and hospitals. Each beneficiary will be supported by a community health worker to navigate the system. Coverage includes: primary care visits, maternal & reproductive health, emergency treatment, pediatric care, and chronic disease management. This is not a long-term solution-it's an urgent medical lifeline.
Beyond saving lives now, this intervention reduces maternal and child mortality in a high-risk region. It keeps families stable, prevents medical poverty spirals, and strengthens community trust in local health systems-a critical foundation for post-conflict recovery. Empowered with health, women and girls can better rebuild their lives and contribute to their community's resilience.
