Taking care of communities struggling with poverty is our main goal; and the importance of providing them with healthcare aid cannot be overstated. As of 2023, our humanitarian efforts have allocated and distributed over 1.4 million dollars’ worth of aid towards healthcare programs.
As part of our flagship program, our orphan sponsorships ensure orphans receive consistent healthcare, including two check-ups per year. We’ve been able to support thousands of children in need with medical care; and work to continuously spread our reach and provide these services to even more orphans around the world.
MWLCA’s healthcare program focuses on essential and emergency medical support by strengthening existing hospitals and clinics in crisis-affected areas. This includes supplying medical equipment, medicines, dental and general healthcare services, and supporting healthcare staff where access to care would otherwise be limited. MWLCA’s healthcare support is designed to address urgent medical needs and maintain basic healthcare access for vulnerable communities, including orphaned children through regular medical checkups.
Examples MWLCA lists include establishing five dental clinics in Northern Syria, supporting health facilities in Eastern Ghouta, funding hospital staff salaries, supplying hospitals with equipment and medicine, distributing oxygen kits to hospitals in Jordan during the Covid 19 pandemic, and helping establish the Yemen Academic Hospital. We also have our orphan sponsorship that includes consistent healthcare with two check ups per year. We distribute vaccines to orphans, and help widows with maternal care.
MWLCA describes an on the ground model that works through supporting and supplying existing healthcare facilities and hospitals with salaries, equipment, medicine, oxygen kits, and fuel in crisis moments.
Examples of this include the February 2023 Syria earthquakes, we supplied fuel to hospitals in Northern Syria and helped secure large scale medicine and medical equipment for healthcare facilities in the region.
Healthcare is central to our mission because health is foundational to dignity, recovery, and stability. Without access to medical care, families cannot rebuild, children cannot attend school, and communities cannot recover from crisis. We prioritize healthcare alongside food, water, shelter, and education to ensure that humanitarian support addresses both immediate survival needs and long-term human development.
