Every day, millions of families around the world face a cruel choice: buy food or pay for medicine. They skip doctor visits. They suffer silently. They die from causes that are preventable, treatable, and in many cases—tragically—avoidable.

Today, you can help change that.

Why your help matters deeply

• Over 4.5 billion people—more than half the world’s population—still lack access to essential health services. United Nations Geneva+1

• Nearly 2 billion people do not have regular access to essential medicines. In the poorest countries in Africa and Asia, more than half of the population may never reliably get the medicines they need. EMRO+1

• Each year, about 100 million families are pushed into extreme poverty because of out‑of‑pocket medical expenses. Paying for health care can cost more than 10% of a household’s budget. World Health Organization+1

• For children under 5, the toll is heartbreaking: in 2023, roughly 4.8 million children died before their fifth birthday—many from treatable illnesses like diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, or complications at birth. That’s about 13,100 young lives lost every day. UNICEF DATA+2World Health Organization+2

• Diarrhoeal disease alone still kills over 1,200 children per day, even though cost‑effective treatments exist. UNICEF DATA

What this campaign aims to do

• Provide life‑saving medicines to those who cannot otherwise obtain them.

• Offer doctor consultations so that diseases aren’t allowed to worsen through neglect.

• Deliver emergency support when disasters, conflicts, or financial crisis shut down access to care.

What your dollar can achieve

• A few dollars may cover a dose of essential antibiotic, or prevent serious complications.

• $10‑20 could pay for a doctor’s consultation in many low‑income settings.

• Your generosity can protect children from dying of illnesses that are preventable and treatable if given timely care.

Call to action

This is more than charity—it’s basic human right. Access to health care and essential medicines shouldn’t be a privilege. Your support today can:

• Save lives.

• Protect families from financial ruin.

• Give children a chance to grow, learn, thrive.

Every dollar brings real hope. Together, we can make health care something all families can access—not just a few.
