Embrace Relief Providing Aid to Mali

Posted on May 27, 2020 | by Henry Montesano

Embrace Relief has an ongoing partnership with Project C.U.R.E in aiming to aid two clinics in Mali’s capital city of Bamako to increase their ability to serve the community that requires medical attention. The two clinics Gaoussou and Clinic Planet Vision require upgrades to their facilities and medical equipment.

As of this year, there hasn’t been any rainfall in Bamako, leaving them impacted by food insecurity, sanitation, mixed pollution, and sickness. Which includes the most common illnesses:

Meningitis = Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord membranes, typically caused by an infection.

Deafness = Significant loss of hearing.

Malaria = A disease caused by a parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Cataracts = Cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause blurry vision and, eventually, complete blindness if not treated properly.

Upgrading and improving these clinics will ensure that more people can be served effectively and efficiently. The clinics are sustained by funding by missionary groups and sponsors as well as patient fees. While these funds help the facilities run – additional funds are needed to make necessary upgrades to the clinics.

Clinic Gaouossou Fofana currently has:

9 treatment rooms
Serves 5,000 patients yearly

Clinic Planet Vision currently has:

3 treatment rooms
Serves 3,000 patients monthly

The top items requested to improve facility operations include:

Phacoemulsification machine
Operating tables
Post-mounted lights
Surgical microscopes
Tonometer
Optical coherence tomography
Yag laser
Anesthesia machine
Infant ventilator

The two facilities currently focus on ophthalmology and dentistry. The new equipment and supplies will allow for the two clinics to expand from these two departments to six. These new departments include gynecology, otolaryngology services (ear, throat, and nose), urology, and orthopedics. These new medical facilities will allow medical professionals to treat a wider range of diseases, establish a stronger healthcare system, increase the workforce, school attendance, and economic growth.

By donating today, you can help 1 million people access much-needed health care and improve their lives for years to come. The community will directly thrive as a result of necessary upgrades to the clinics by allowing them to overcome illnesses, regain their health and well-being, and build lives for themselves.

COVID-19 Emergency Response & Rehabilitation Program

Posted on May 27, 2020 | by Henry Montesano

The coronavirus pandemic has collapsed the entire framework and structure of every nation and has brought a downward trend at every parameter of the world economy. Every nation is facing tragic conditions in terms of unemployment cases and lack of vital resources such as food and medication. Due to the lock-down at all service areas and production zones, billions of people are now jobless around the world. In this context, the people of developing countries already suffer and must live with day to day earnings that do not ensure their basic necessities are met. The livability of the general public has declined dramatically due to this impulsive virus. In this point of view, the Youth Foundation of Bangladesh has started several initiatives since the beginning of this crisis. For example; we have initiated awareness and capacity building against the spread of coronavirus, offline (in School, College, University) and online awareness campaigns, country preparedness and response programs, free food and aid distribution, and other relevant activities. Furthermore, we have distributed food to 700 students during the lock-down crisis. The steps we take toward the future are very critical due to its effecting by mathematical terms. School students are going to suffer from food insecurity and mental stress. We are scaling large support to provide them relief and, therefore, requesting you all please donate for school going children.

International Hunger Relief 2020

Posted on May 21, 2020 | by Henry Montesano

Did you know that there is enough food produced to feed all 7 billion people around the world? Yet, more than 820 million people go hungry each year! With the current pandemic crisis, this number is increasing drastically by the minute. COVID-19 threatens to force the world’s hungriest to life-threatening extremes and force many into food insecurity.

Here are just a few staggering facts and figures:

Approximately 300,000 people in Greece are severely food insecure
100,000+ refugees in Greece living in camps has no or little access to food
More than 20 million Yemenis face hunger in the absence of food assistance

World hunger could become the next big impact of the pandemic. About 265 million people around the world are forecast to be facing acute food insecurity by the end of this year due to COVID-19. Some of the most vulnerable countries may face the choice of trying to save people infected by the virus only for them to fall prey to hunger.

Hunger doesn’t stop for a pandemic, and neither do we. To help combat this, Embrace Relief will be delivering food packs to those in need during this time of uncertainty and confusion.

Each food pack cost :

It is now more than ever that we should bring hope and share joy to our global brothers and sisters. Food brings us together on many different levels, it’s nourishment of the body and soul. Let’s build a longer table, not a higher fence.
