Healthcare

Problem:

Across Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and Kenya hospitals and clinics are overwhelmed or destroyed. Pregnant mothers walk for hours only to find no doctor. Children endure infections and injuries that would be minor elsewhere but become life threatening in a war zone. Families cannot afford simple treatments, let alone specialised surgeries. In these settings even a fever or a wound can mean the difference between life and death.

Imagine needing a doctor—but there’s no hospital to go to. In Gaza, that’s the daily reality. HDF’s medical caravan travels to where no one else can, treating over 30 patients a day with medicine, dignity, and care.

For $3,600, you can fund a fully equipped Medical Caravan — bringing lifesaving care directly to families in Somalia. Each unit serves as a safe, local clinic for the injured, elderly, and children in crisis. Give healing. Give hope.
