Despite child mortality on the decrease due to vaccination programmes, almost 15% of all children in Africa under the age of 5 still die prematurely due to
- Hunger and Malnutrition
- Malaria
- Dengue Fever
- Diarrhoea
- Pneumonia
- HIV/Aids
All of which worsened by the lack of basic health care, access to daily food requirements and lack of knowledge on protection against deadly diseases.
Indeed access to basic medicines such as antibiotics, antiseptics, painkillers is often not available. Routine surgeries are also often not available resulting in the non-reversibility of severe disabilities often resulting in premature death.
To combat this situation, here are just some of the solutions and support African Hope e.V. provide for:
- Loading, Shipping and distributing of Truck Containers packed with Medical Equipment, Medical Instruments, Medical Supplies, Food supplements etc.
