Emergency Health Fund for the Shipibo people

Thanks to a succesful campaing with our allies, Xapiri Ground, we funraised to cover health costs for our emergency fund during COVID-19. Thanks to all our donors we managed to produce the following succesful results!W

APPLICATIONS RECEIVED: 43 FAMILIES

We recieved applications from 43 families to financially support their health emergencies during COVID-19. 

FAMILIES SERVED: 39 FAMILIES

We served 39 families. 

PEOPLE SERVED: 48 PEOPLE

From those 39 families, 48 individuals were helped. 

DECEASED: 2 DECEASED

2 people deceased as their health was too complicated and there was nothing further we could do. 

REQUESTS TO BE TAKEN: 4 REQUESTS

There are still 4 requests to attend. 

In total we also attended 11 men, 29 women and 8 children. 

We had  a budget of about $180 per family. 10 cases used up to 40% of the budget, 9 cases used up to 50% of the budget, 9 cases were over 65% of the budget, 6 cases used up the total budget, and 3 cases exceeded the budget. 

This makes for a very eficient used of the resources gathered which allows us to be able to support a few more families in need. 

We are very proud of Ruth, a young shipibo woman, who has been coordinating the activities of the fund, and supporting the families in need. Thanks to your donations, we can help those most severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic, and those with other illnesses that make them vulnerable to COVID.
