ORGANIZATION
World Health
Our founder, Amanda Sibeso Wamunyima as a teenager was moved to shine a light on healthcare and facilities in her home town.
This mission was formed when she witnessed firsthand the need for adequate healthcare in her community. While visiting a family friend in hospital, Amanda saw a mother leave her delivery bed moments after giving birth to buy an oxygen tank for her premature baby.
"Even at a young age I knew that didn't seem right, I comforted myself knowing she could afford it, but that thought quickly faded, I asked myself "what about the mother that can't afford to do the same for her child"
what happens then. How can I help! Amanda S Wamunyima.
In 2015 Amanda discovered she had several non cancerous tumors that needed surgery to be taken out, this development gave her even greater purpose to countinue raising awareness for healthcare.
Pilu-'Heart'
In developed countries like America, hospitals and other facilities with the help of an ever growing technical world have equipment they dispose off. These equipments can be very useful in other nations.
Such Items are obtained through fundraising events, donations and company’s like Med-Share International a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the environment and healthcare through the efficient recovery and distribution of surplus medical supplies and equipment to underserved healthcare facilities in developing countries.
We are collecting items to benefitting the village of Sesheke Yeta hospital in the western province of Zambia serving over one thousand people to hospitals and clinics.
