Thank you for your generous gift! We want to tell you about Maisha, a nine month-old girl who lives in the city of Goma, a border town in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As an HIV-affected child, Maisha didn’t have an appetite and drank only one feeding bottle of porridge in the morning and evening. She was in the hospital every month and sometimes two times per month, but since she has started coming to the free CAP clinic and receiving treatment, she can drink four feeding bottles per day!

Maisha’s mother is very grateful for the support they receive at CAP; “It has been difficult for me to understand what happened to my daughter, but I realized that it is normal, and we now have a normal life like others. I wish a better future for my daughter and thanks to all the people who are helping this program. My husband is still alive but jobless, and he is struggling with life and trying to help our children. I pray a lot for the better future of my daughter and the rest of my family.”

Thanks to committed supporters like you, the CAP clinic provides hundreds of children like Maisha with free medical services that keep them alive and healthy.  The CAP clinic is the only one of its kind in the urban center of Goma. Thank you on behalf of Maisha’s family and all patients and staff at the CAP clinic for your generous support.

Thank you for providing an entire year of medical care to Eloise.

One year old Elois suffers from HIV. He eats three meals a day and naps about 6 hours per day. He plays a lot with his older siblings and he really likes their soccer balls and toys. The medicines are helping a lot – since he started going to the clinic he is much better.

Elois’ mother shared with us:

“We are very much grateful for all the people who are helping the clinic get the medicines, because Elois is getting free medicines!

I think that the disease I have and that my son has is normal, but people think that we are very different from them. Before, when this disease was at the beginning, I thought that it would kill me in few days but, thank God, we are alive. I hope for a better future for my son. I hope he will grow up and go to school and live like others.”

Your generous donations make this free, life-sustaining healthcare, including routine vaccinations, treatment for infections (malaria, tuberculosis), and nutritional supplements available to Elois through the Children’s AIDS Program clinic. Thank you for your very generous support — it truly is changing Elois’ life.

Kevin is a 1-year old who has started crawling and will soon be walking!  His parents are both out of work which has made it difficult for them to provide two meals for him every day. The family is living in a “temporary house” because they don’t have support from either of their families.

Kevin was routinely sick from the time he was born.  Thankfully he is enrolled in the Children’s AIDS Program in Goma, DR Congo, and receives excellent free medical services from Dr. Eulalie and the nursing staff at HEAL Africa.  Since he enrolled in the program, the family has been able to observe many improvements in his health.

Kevin’s mother shared “I have faith that my son will grow up if Children’s AIDS Program continues to provide free medical care. I thank all the doctors and nurses who are helping to treat our children.”

Your generous donations make this life-sustaining healthcare, including routine vaccinations, treatment for infections (malaria, tuberculosis) and nutritional supplements available to Kevin. Thank you all for your generous support.

Daniel wants to be a medical doctor when he grows up. He is one of nine children and lives with both of his parents, who have a reliable income of $50-100 per month, allowing the family to live in a rented home.

Thankfully, Daniel receives free medical services from Dr. Vyolo and the nursing staff at HEAL Africa as part of the Children’s AIDS Program. Your donation makes this life-sustaining healthcare available to him. Thank you for providing the care Daniel needs to stay strong and resilient! A special thank you to Arthur for donating five months of care for him. Thank you so much!

Salomon’s favorite color is red and he wants to be a chauffeur or professional driver when he grows up.  Salomon lives with his aunt, who is a street merchant earning less than $100 per month, which covers basic care for Salomon and living expenses for his  ten other family members.

Thankfully, Salomon receives free medical services from Dr. Vyolo and the nursing staff at HEAL Africa as part of the Children’s AIDS Program.  Your donation makes this life-sustaining healthcare available to him.  Thank you all so much for your kind donation!

Christian is an only child living with both of his parents.  He hopes to be the director of a large company when he grows up and is studying hard to prepare himself.  His favorite color is blue and his hope is that he will live a very long life.

Christian’s parents earn less than $100 per month and live in a rented home.  They are especially thankful that Christian receives free medical services from Dr. Vyolo and the nursing staff at HEAL Africa as part of the Children’s AIDS Program.  Your combined donations make this life-sustaining health care available to him for another year!
