Hello Global Giving donors
You might think the Sacred Valley region has recovered since the floods but our efforts are ongoing and the need is deep.
A large shipment of primarily antibiotics has been delivered into the Sacred Valley region in collaboration with the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health has an extensive network of clinics and hospitals that serve Peru's poorest citizens.
Access to safe drinking water remains a challenge in the poorest districts of Peru. This large donation will benefit thousands of patients - preventing disease and illnesses. We are now in a postion of getting ahead of a disaster in terms of preparedness.
We are supplying the dedicated doctors and nurses who volunteer with our Puente de Vida program. These are micro clinics established in remote areas - far from hosptials.
During an annual year we ship an impressive 50+ container ships packed with hospital equipment a year to Latin America.
In this way - we are prepared year round for disasters. Capable of supplying emergency relief efforts on a daily basis.
We thank all of our donors for choosing VIDA, therefore making our life saving mission possible.
Muchos Gracias
