Charity Work Across Asia
Be the Change
Asia is one of the continents struggling to achieve universal health coverage, with over 350 million people in South Asia alone living in poverty, and suffering from preventable diseases due to lack of financial means to access essential medicare. Access to healthcare is a big issue on the continent, causing avoidable deaths and compounding the economic woes of the very vulnerable groups.
However, Helpster Charity, an international nonprofit leveraging technology to ease healthcare access for underserved communities, has intervened. Helspter operates in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sri Lanka, introducing programmes aimed at bringing life-saving medical help to children in Asia. We're bridging the divide and empowering the vulnerable.
Providing Medical Assistance to Asia
Through an innovative app and website, Helpster empowers individuals and organisations to provide help in Asia by funding medical cases. Focusing on children and pregnant women, we're liberating Asians from poverty, as medical charity plays a great role in poverty reduction. This is our healthcare funding programme which seamlessly connects donors to Asians needing critical medicare. The process is transparent and efficient.
Our second core programme is the regular conduct of free medical outreaches in remote communities across Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Cambodia. We locate areas with serious healthcare access limitations and take medical services to them- screening, diagnosis, treatment and sensitisation. At the last medical outreach, held in October 2024, in Sapua and Sondhao villages, Feni and Pabna Districts of Bangladesh, 814 individuals were treated. By organising these outreaches, we ensure that the most marginalised sections receive life-saving medicare.

Bangladesh: Helpster’s Focus on Maternal and Child Health
Bangladesh grapples with maternal and child health issues. Maternal mortality rates are alarmingly high in rural areas while, according to UNICEF, one in six children dies before their fifth birthday because of issues around limited healthcare. We're tackling the challenge by prioritising children and pregnant women in our healthcare funding and medical outreaches.
Through our medical charity in Bangladesh, enabled by the generosity of donors, several women and children have received medicare and crucial health education, thereby reducing preventable deaths and enhancing the wellbeing of these Asians.
