Summary

Huascaran Mission benefited 17,000 people in 2023 with 67 vital basic health campaigns in 180 native and remote communities where the Peruvian state does not reach. Today we seek support to keep our mobile medical posts operational, which travel on mountainous trails above 3,000 meters in altitude. Fuel, payment to health professionals, treatments, maintenance of the van, and the medical posts themselves are overwhelming us, so we ask for help.

Challenge

Despite the generous support of our benefactors with the donation of mobile medical posts, we are facing a new challenge: the costs of logistics to move the mobile posts along mountain trails throughout our intervention area, such as fuel, maintenance of the van, and the medical posts themselves, are overwhelming us. This prevents us from fully fulfilling our promise to provide vital medical care to the rural Andes of Ancash.

Solution

To overcome this challenge, we need the continuous and generous support of committed benefactors and solidarity organizations. With additional donations, we will be able to cover the necessary operating costs to ensure that our mobile medical posts function optimally and that we can carry out our health campaigns effectively to the furthest populated center in the White Mountain range. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference.

Long-Term Impact

By obtaining the necessary support to cover the operating costs of our mobile medical posts, we will be ensuring timely diagnosis. By providing medical care and treatment to pregnant mothers, newborns, children, and the elderly, we are promoting health and well-being inclusively for these vulnerable populations. Additionally, by training and educating these communities on health, hygiene, and nutrition topics, we are laying the foundation for a healthier future.
