Health care for 120 children of Bambi Venezuela

The vulnerability of the kids that came to Hogar Bambi during this year due to their lack of nutrition, poor medical assistance, slow psychological development, are some of the reasons why it is mandatory to maintain and expand our projects oriented to satisfying basics needs related to health, education, nutrition, shelter, clothes.

Specifically, in the health area, the population attended during this period needed many actions oriented to prevention, attention, treatments, rehabilitation and health recovery, to minimize the physical and development risk of the children. Among those actions are vaccines for the smallest ones, elaboration of medical records of the new children, pediatric, dentistry, orthopedic, psychological and other specialized evaluations, laboratory exams, and many others. At present we are giving medical attention to 98 children.

From Hogar Bambi, we are very thankful for the contributions received and for the support we have received through Global Giving, and we hope we can keep counting on it so we can be able to offer the kids that come to Hogar Bambi appropriate medical attention to guarantee the best health for our children.

Recently, especially in the last two months, the living conditions of the less privileged families in Venezuela have worsened significantly. The constant failure in the electricity service has been in the news worldwide. These failures also have had terrible consequences on the service of water pipe fitting in poor neighborhoods, which already was very spoiled.

The lack of potable water brought important insalubrity conditions, which means more problems for the poorest homes in Venezuela. In the last months, the amount of abandoned children in Venezuela has increased because families do not have the necessary resources to offer to their children the basic living conditions. Furthermore, the conditions in which the children arrive at our institution are very deplorable; many of them have infectious diseases because of the use of non-potable water. This situation forces us to be even more careful about the children health; we must take care of the new children that arrive with these health problems, but also the health of the children that were already living in our houses, we need to prevent the infectious disease to spread to others. We must take sick children to the hospital to receive medical attention, and obtain the medicines and antibiotics they need, which in most cases are difficult to find and the prices are very high.

Thus, we thank all our supporters that through GlobalGiving and this project help us to get the necessary economic means to obtain the medicines and to take care of the healthcare of the kids, so we can achieve the best health for our children.
