VIDA thanks GlobalGiving donors for your support! VIDA has made a total of 13 shipments (ocean and air) carrying nearly $12 million in aid in response to the tragic flooding and ongoing healthcare needs in Peru. Tens of thousands remain homeless, 300 plus hospitals/clinics destroyed and the infrastructure remain damaged - roads and bridges washed out and entire communities swept clean and millions still lack access to healthcare.
VIDA is working with our partners and the government to help rebuild the healthcare infrastructure. The government is donating warehouse space and dedicating transportation resources to transport the aid to the impacted communities and we are ramping up our efforts.
To that end, VIDA is shipping another 2 additional shipments by sea to Peru carrying 80 hospital beds along with walkers, wheelchairs, and crutches.
We are in the process of securing funding for the next 6 containers and appreciate the support of the GlobalGiving community!
