Dr. Philip's journey to becoming a doctor began with unimaginable challenges, with his education feeling more like a fight for survival. School for Philip wasn't in buildings but under trees in remote, war-torn areas of Sudan, hidden from aerial bombings. Class schedules were dictated by the seasons, and education often took a backseat to farming for survival. Despite these obstacles, Philip persevered, driven by a vision to create change in his community. Today, he’s giving back, working as a doctor in the Nuba Mountains, saving lives, and inspiring a new generation of students who now have classrooms with walls. His story is a testament to resilience and hope. #Inspiration #OvercomingObstacles #DoctorsForChange #HopeInAction #NubaMountains #TrainingDoctors #Resilience

Did you know that over 200,000 Ugandan women are living with fistula injuries caused by unsafe birth? This is why our impact matters. In 2010, 29 year- old Kyompaire and her husband were excited about their first pregnancy. Their joy turned into sorrow with labor complications which required a C-section and resulted in the stillbirth of their child. Still mourning, three days later, Kyompaire had another surgery, causing her to need a catheter. Unfortunately, she suffered a fistula and started leaking urine; a burden she has carried for fourteen years. With multiple unsuccessful repairs, Kyompaire was growing tired of suffering with the burden before coming to Rwibaale Health Center. But she was encouraged by her sister who had also been successfully repaired at Rwibaale in 2022. At Rwibaale Health Center this April, Kyompaire had a successful fistula repair. On the day of her discharge, she said, “Having spent much time with this terrible condition which had caused me a lot of discomfort, I lost weight, had lost hope, hated myself and I was feeling unworthy to live because of suffering with this condition for a long time.

This #GivingTuesday, you can help provide life-saving surgeries and essential healthcare to families who need it most. Susan, an expectant 18-year-old, lives in a two-room house with her husband, where they farm to meet their daily needs but cannot cater to healthcare costs. During her complicated labor, Susan was referred to Rwibaale Health Centre where doctors recommended an emergency cesarean section due to obstructed labor. However, Susan and her husband could only raise $6 of the total bill. Through our SAFE program, the rest of the cost was covered, and Susan was able to receive the necessary care. After her discharge, she expressed her gratitude, saying, “I was shown very good care during the hours I labored here and had my bill paid. May the Lord bless the donors who helped me.” With your support, women like Susan can receive the care they desperately need—care that transforms lives. Every dollar helps cover medical expenses, train healthcare workers, and bring hope to communities in need.

In the 1990s, HIV/AIDS ravaged sub-Saharan Africa, reducing life expectancy by up to 20 years and orphaning 13 million children. While progress has been made, more than 288 million still suffer from treatable conditions, with Africa needing 50 times more surgical personnel. HIV-related deaths and mother-to-child transmission remain high due to inadequate maternal care, underscoring the urgent need for continued healthcare improvements across the continent. Despite the progress made, the need for support remains. By donating today, you can help provide life-saving treatments, train more healthcare professionals, and improve access to essential care. Together, we can continue to bring hope, healing, and a brighter future to communities across sub-Saharan Africa. Your generosity can make a lasting impact.

Meet Dr. Perry Jansen! “In 1991, I began my family medicine residency at the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the Los Angeles area. I vividly remember the hopelessness in the eyes of an emaciated young man in his twenties who was admitted with multiple infections and wasting syndrome. Fresh out of med school, I remember the helplessness I felt when dealing with a disease that was only partially understood and had no effective treatment. Fast forward almost 10 years to 2000 and I find myself living and working in the new epicenter of HIV/AIDS, Sub-Saharan Africa, the small country of Malawi, to be specific. Over two-thirds of my patients were coming to me with undiagnosed, advanced AIDS. Once again, I remember the hopelessness in their eyes and the helplessness in my heart. In the intervening years, effective treatment had been developed thanks to passionate activism, focused philanthropy, and dedicated scientists. Referred to then as highly active antiretroviral therapy, these triple-therapy regimens, now referred to as ARVs, had dramatically reduced HIV-related deaths in the U.S. and other wealthy countries. But no one could afford them in Malawi, and the health system could seemingly never cope with such a complex medical regimen. “Doesn’t anyone care that people are dying here?” I cried in desperation.” - Dr. Perry Jansen, AMH Because you care, African Mission Healthcare is able to train health workers to help prevent and treat conditions like HIV and provide support to clinics treating the poor afflicted with infectious diseases.
