Hard times but high hopes

By William Day | Impact and Operations Officer

Dear friends, donors, and interested people,

Recently funding for this project has stagnated and we still have a long way to go, but locals in Peru are still just as in need as ever. The healthcare clinic is currently very low technology without basic amenities such as a fridge to preserve important medicines; this limits the ability of nurses to help their patients with complex medical issues.

Implementing facilities such as this is a long-term process which requires significant amounts of funding (more than we currently have access to) which means that, unless our situation changes, for the forseeable future our goal is to simply keep the doors of the clinic open. Funding basic running costs through your donations means that the midwife can continue to deliver babies safely and conduct sexual health appointments or emergency disease treatments. The nearest hospital is inaccessible at a 3-hour drive away, therefore it is vital that we help to keep the clinic open, we rely solely on donations.

Thank you for supporting us

Healthcare doesn't have to be a Hospital

By Tyrone Bennett | CEO of Action Change

To everyone who has stood with us in our mission to bring quality healthcare to those who need it most, thank you.

We are operating in a landscape where healthcare is often treated as a luxury, but we continue to see proof every day that it is a fundamental human right. Our approach is simple but effective: we don't just provide band-aids; we build capacity. Whether it is training a local school teacher in emergency response, stocking a rural clinic with essential supplies, or running community workshops on preventative health, every action is designed to leave a lasting mark on the community's safety.

Since our last report, our focus has been on consolidating our community healthcare provisions. The demand is relentless, and we are working tirelessly to ensure that our resources—which are entirely funded by your contributions—are deployed where they can save the most lives. We’ve been focusing on strengthening our training for first responders, as we know that in remote areas, the first few minutes after an emergency are the difference between life and death.

A massive opportunity to scale our impact is right around the corner.

GlobalGiving’s Little by Little campaign runs from March 17th to the 20th, and it is a vital window for us. Every donation of up to 50 dollars will be matched at 50 percent, allowing us to stretch your generosity significantly further:

A 50 dollar contribution becomes 75 dollars.
That 75 dollars provides the equipment for a complete, fully stocked medical first aid kit that we can put directly into the hands of a local health volunteer.

Please mark your calendars for March 17th. We are also calling on you to help us spread the word. Share our story with your networks, your friends, and your colleagues. If we work in mass, we can secure the medical supplies and training programs we need to keep our clinics thriving throughout 2026.

We have the team, the plan, and the experience. Now, we just need to keep the momentum going. Thank you for your continued belief in our work and for being the heartbeat of this project.
