East Africa Health Strategies
Project Overview
The peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa experience tremendous suffering and death due to war, drought, famine, tropical diseases, uncontrolled population growth, and lack of access to healthcare. Across this iconic continent, millions of people created in the image of God and whom God loves do not know Jesus as their Savior.
Every day in 2020, almost 800 women died globally from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Sub-Saharan African mothers accounted for 70% of those deaths. Four of the top nine countries in the world with the highest maternal death rates are in East Africa. (source: World Health Organization). When a pregnant mother dies, she often leaves behind several other children who must now survive as orphans.
Tremendous opportunities exist to save lives, bring physical healing, ease suffering, and follow Christ’s example of bringing the gospel along with healing. The East Africa Healthcare Team sees virtually unlimited potential to share the gospel and bring people to saving faith in Jesus Christ by using healthcare strategies to meet physical needs and show the love of Christ. They employ multiple ministries alongside national partners, such as Community Health Evangelism trainings, medical clinics with short-term medical volunteers, and telemedicine medical camps serving refugees.
Your gift will provide training materials to take into areas of need, conduct community training in women’s and children’s health, buy medicine and supplies for medical teams, and cover travel costs to send teams into remote bush areas to conduct trainings and medical camps. Join us in this life-saving and eternity-changing ministry!
