Health Programs

 Global Peace Foundation, Improving health in the world's poorest countries is a core priority for World Concern. Without good health, many of the ways we help people lift themselves out of poverty — education, income generation, vocational training and more — would be fruitless.

As the health of of a family is improved, children are able to attend school and parents are able to work. Clean water and nutritious food begin to have an impact on lives, and hope can be seen in the bright eyes of healthier children.

World Concern provides:

Deworming medication to more than 3 million children per year

Free or low-cost healthcare through urban medical clinics

Vaccinations

HIV and AIDS prevention and care

Clean water, sanitation and hygiene education

Response to health emergencies

With a solution that's pocket change — 44 cents —  Global Peace Foundation believe there's no reason one-third of the world's children should have their health, futures and even their lives threatened by intestinal parasites.

You can stand in agreement with us on behalf of the children by learning more and contributing toward the cure

23 million people with AIDS live in Sub-Saharan Africa

Intestinal parasites infect roughly one-third of the world's children

Parasites consume essential nutrients and cause anemia, malnutrition, skin disorders and stunted growth

More than half a million women die every year of complications during pregnancy or childbirth; most of these deaths can be avoided with proper medical care
