OUR STORY
The idea for this mission started with a discussion we had with medical school students in Ethiopia. The students informed us of many children who would be discharged from hospitals without proper medications because of the financial constraints of their parents. We heard stories of parents having to sell most of their possessions to purchase medications for their children and of those denied treatment because of refugee status. Our research into the problem further unveiled the widespread prevalence of medication unaffordability in the pediatric population in Ethiopia, mainly of oncology pediatrics population. Cancer pediatric patients whose parents are low-income, uninsured, unemployed, disabled, or refugee are more likely to be denied proper medications because of a lack of money.
Our initiative seeks to improve the health quality of life and sustain the proper development of children of underserved families and promote the self-reliance and financial capacity of their families.
