Train healthcare professionals in Ethiopia
Prevent rheumatic heart disease in children
Raise awareness of heart disease in children
- Hundreds of thousands of children in Ethiopia have heart disease but there is little treatment available.
- We work with partners to train healthcare professionals in Ethiopia to treat heart disease in children, and prevent it when possible.
- Our efforts will enable Ethiopians to provide long term, sustainable care for their children.
We think that the future of individuals should not be bleak, just because they are Ethiopians, born to Ethiopians and living in Ethiopia. If we can bring our good will, our knowledge and our resources together, we can change this reality.
