Challenge

They, and surrounding communities, do not have access to even basic healthcare, as the corona virus currently surges through Peru. They are often sick from contaminated water and malnutrition, and even minor injuries can turn serious without basic care and antibiotics. Because it is equivalent in time and cost if you had to fly from Ohio to New York to see your doctor, they often go without any healthcare until it becomes very serious and they have no choice. With COVID-19 that can be deadly!

Solution

Corona-virus is a critical problem right now in rural Peru. They do not have access to healthcare nearby, and no access to ICU level care we are used to. If you need advanced care, you will not survive there. You can bring healthcare right to them. Identifying and treating Covid-19 early saves lives! Preventing them from getting worse is critical. Caring for them safely keeps the trained professionals safe and able to help others. You can prevent an entire village from disappearing due to Covid!

Long-Term Impact

You will help the community and tribe survive this pandemic. Even once this pandemic has passed and things have calmed down, what you have provided will improve the health and lives of the entire community for years to come. They will have healthcare available right where they live and work, and they will be healthier for it. Other health needs can be treated and cured. The tribe will have an improved future as the children develop properly and grow into healthy adults and are able to work.
