Too many people are suffering because they are too hard to reach.
We bring life-saving relief to the hardest to reach people. Wherever they live, whatever it takes.
People in remote places often suffer needlessly because they lack the most basic of services.
If you lived in a place like Limangi, a remote village in D.R. Congo 1.5 hours by foot from the nearest small town, you would most likely have no mobile phone service, no supermarket, and little access to education.
You would have a higher chance of dying from a preventable illness because there is no doctor nearby.
You would have to give birth at home with no skilled help, and risk the lives of yourself and your baby.
That's why we're bringing the people of Limangi, and others like them, the life-saving relief they desperately need and deserve.
Because where you live should not determine whether you live.
At Medair, we believe that everyone should have access to life-saving healthcare no matter where they live. We believe every life is valuable. That’s what drives us to take risks and go further to relieve suffering in some of the world’s toughest places. Will you go with us? #JoinTheJourney
