How Medical Charity Reduces Poverty - Helpster’s Impact Programmes

One of the biggest issues facing the world is poverty, ravaging millions of individuals across various countries. According to a World Bank report, 8.5 percent(about 700 million people) of the world’s population live below 2.15 dollars per day, the extreme poverty line for low-income countries. The Bank added that 75 percent of these people are in Sub-Saharan Africa.

While factors like education and employment are crucial in arresting the problem of poverty, healthcare is also a key element in the mix. Poor healthcare or lack of access to healthcare contributes hugely to the rising indices of poverty, especially in African and Asian countries. Without proper medicare, individuals are unfit to engage in economic activities, keeping them poor.

Medical Charity Steps In

Medical charity organisations step in to transform access to medicare for these vulnerable populations, empowering them to become more economically productive. Helpster believes that every individual, irrespective of their financial status, should be able to access critical medicare and take charge of their futures, creating sustainable routes to escape the manacles of poverty.

Our mission is to ensure no child suffers or dies due to lack of financial means to access essential healthcare. We focus on underserved communities across Africa and Asia where healthcare access is still largely limited, to provide relief to the underprivileged children, pregnant women and young adults, putting them in a more advantageous position to break free from a state of lack.

Healthcare is fundamental to every human. In poor countries where many can't afford it, they suffer various illnesses which economically incapacitate them, engendering more poverty.

Helpster Charity: Transforming Lives

Helpster is addressing this healthcare gap through three core programmes: funding access to medicare, regular medical outreaches and health education.

We target the most vulnerable- children and pregnant women- with these programmes to eliminate the barriers that hinder them from accessing healthcare. This avails them the opportunity to live productive lives and contribute to the economic advancement of their individual countries.

1.Healthcare Funding: Through the donations of Helpster Heroes, we fund healthcare access for the vulnerable, restoring their hopes and positioning them for economic opportunities. We've saved over 700 children and pregnant women with this intervention.

2. Medical Outreaches: We organise free medical outreaches in communities where healthcare access is limited, offering healthcare services such as screening, diagnosis, medication and treatment. Over 12 medical outreaches conducted and over 5000 people impacted in less than 2 years.

3. Health Enlightenment: During our medical outreaches, we sensitise communities on hygiene, nutrition and disease prevention. This fosters healthy living.
