VIDA USA has just sent two 40' Ocean containers carrying nearly $1 million in aid to Lima. The first shipment contains hospital beds, exam tables, wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches. Also included in this shipment is a second set of eye exam equipment valued at over $50,000 and an entire pallet of multi and prenatal vitamins that will benefit thousands of mothers and children. The second shipment is comprised of medical supplies, from diapers to sutures to surgical kits. Both of these shipments will be distributed to over 20 clinics and also benefit Puente de VIDA program, our mobile clinic program that brings healthcare to forgotten communities.
VIDA is also coordinating shipments of medicine from our two partners - Americares and Direct Relief - which will have a combined value of over $2 million. VIDA and our partners are deeply grateful for the support from the Global Giving community!
