Dear donors,
In many poor communities, newborns are left without protection against tuberculosis because the BCG vaccine is unavailable. This gap has led to rising infections, preventable deaths, and families living in fear of losing their children to a disease that can be controlled with a single dose at birth. Mothers are often forced to watch their infants grow weak, while the community health system struggles to cope with mounting cases.
Our project, TB: BCG Vaccines for Newborns in Poor Communities, seeks to provide life-saving vaccines for babies who are most at risk. Without these vaccines, children remain vulnerable to one of the world’s deadliest infections. With your help, we can begin supplying vaccines where they are most needed and give newborns a safer start to life.
At this stage, no donations have been received. We appeal to those who care about child health to consider this urgent need. Even a single contribution can bring us closer to protecting babies who would otherwise remain defenseless.
Thank you,
Joy O. Etubi
