Saving lives by funding access to vital basic healthcare
where it's most needed

Our mission
Our primary mission is to save lives by funding access to vital healthcare worldwide and create a movement of heroes. We are committed to ensuring that no child suffers or dies simply because they lack the financial means to pay for basic healthcare. Through our fundraising efforts, we are dedicated to providing an opportunity for these children to receive the medical treatment they urgently need.
“
Where a child is born should not dictate whether they live or die. It is critical to improve access to quality health services for every woman and child, including during emergencies and in remote areas.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Helpster is an NGO that works as a mobile app that provides fundraising for the treatment of children in need in the remote regions — easy, transparent and efficient.
It is a project that develops an infrastructure that connects the hospitals, children in need, volunteers, and the patrons, as well as conducts the validation of both the hospital, and the child’s case.

We have a network of representatives, volunteers and partners in each country that we operate in.
They visit the poor households and follow our protocols to approve and validate the case, as well as gather all the information about the child and the illness.
We only work with the hospitals that have a governmental license for operation, and that have passed all of our checks.

We will upload the full report about the process and the outcome of the child’s treatment that you have donated for.
You can see and follow all the updates on a child’s case in “My list” page of the app.
Usually, report page also includes the photos and/or videos of a child after the treatment.

Yes, you can donate once, or buy a monthly subscription and have a certain number of donations you can distribute among the children you want to help.

Mortality, caused by an absence of access to the vital healthcare due to inability to pay hospital bills is one of the most critical injustices in today's world.
The global community has not yet developed the mechanisms for dealing with such a problem in a scaling and effective way.
The founders decided to use their experience in digital environment to develop a global, popular, transparent and digitalised culture of helping the most vulnerable.

Children in the least developed countries are the most vulnerable group in terms of limited access to healthcare. 1 billion children worldwide are multidimensionally poor.
We aim to work in more countries as we grow.
Yet, we’ve started our work in Africa and Asia, since they are the regions where the problem of healthcare is the most critical. Children at the poorest households die at twice the rate of their better-off peers.
Nigeria has the child mortality rate of 11,38%, that is the 2nd highest in the world. Kenya does not provide *any* free healthcare for their citizens.
