From $50: essential medicines for 25 patient visits.
The need
Rural clinics are often the only care for tens of thousands of people, yet run out of basic medicines and lack equipment. A small, steady budget keeps doors open and shelves stocked.
Why give to this cause
- A rural clinic is often the only source of care for tens of thousands of people.
- A small, steady budget prevents the medicine stock-outs that turn treatable illness into emergencies.
- Clinics report patient numbers and stock levels monthly, so your support is visible.
What your gift does
- $50essential medicines for 25 patient visits
- $300a month's salary for a community nurse
- $3,000a solar power system for a clinic's lights and fridge

How much does a malaria net cost?
A treated bed net costs only a few dollars and protects a family for years. The Malaria prevention page shows what each gift buys, and health workers check that nets are hung and used.
Do you support maternal and child health in Africa?
Yes. We fund antenatal care, skilled birth attendants and infant vaccinations through rural clinics, and report how many mothers and babies were reached.
