Medical bills can place a strain on any family, even more so if you are a subsistence farmer in one of the world’s poorest countries. Even basic medications and laboratory tests are often more than your limited means can bear, let alone blood transfusion or major surgery. The Kibuye Needy Patient Fund serves to remove the economic impediments for patients needing to access medical care. In turn, this fund supports the hospital (through the full payment of patient bills) so that it can meet its financial obligations.

Donations directed to this fund pass through trusted Burundian professionals who determine which patients are most in need of financial assistance.

Budget: Approximately $2500 per month
