Your Trikes in action
At a remote hospital in Benue State, people have gathered to be checked and treated for leprosy, and to also learn more about other skin diseases in their community. Without mobile care, the woman above many not have received urgently needed treatment for her severe leg ulcer. Your support to keep the trikes up and running is vital.
"These tricycles significantly improve our ability to reach and serve communities more effectively". Leprosy Program Officer, Benue State, Nigeria.
In Nigeria, eight Ambulance Trikes are now up and running, thanks to the generosity of people like you!
You can take further action!
As you understand, there are significant costs in keeping the trikes on the road, including:
✓ Insurance & registration
✓ Maintenance & fuel
✓ Restocking the Medical Kit
✓ Health Workers' salaries
✓ Driver's salaries
