HELP US DELIVER CRITICAL MEDICAL DEVICES TO ASASA HEALTH CENTER!
Project Overview
In 2023, the Jara & Jiru Foundation (JJF) partnered with Project C.U.R.E. to address the urgent shortage of medical equipment and supplies in public health facilities across the Oromiya region of Ethiopia. As part of this initiative, a thorough needs assessment was conducted across six facilities in Asasa, Dodola, Adaba, and Bale. Based on this, JJF and Project C.U.R.E. made a five-year commitment to deliver life-saving medical devices to these facilities.
Over the next five years, Project C.U.R.E. will procure and ship containers filled with critical medical equipment and supplies, valued at approximately $380,000 USD. To date, three containers have been successfully delivered to Dodola, Adaba, and Bale regions. Now, we urgently need your help to send the next container to Asasa Health Center by the end of this year.
