Health Aid: The Difference Between Life and Death
Global health inequity is an unfortunate and harsh reality. Nearly 3.5 billion people, almost half the world’s population, lack access to the health services they need. Around 70% of health outcomes are due to social determinants of health such as access to food, education, proper housing, and livelihood. The difference in life expectancy between high and low-income countries is 19 years.
Around the world, you’re helping children unlock their potential and pave the way for a brighter future. In 2024 alone, IRUSA implemented 65 projects across the world, supporting nearly 4,000,000 people. Take a look at this success story!
Dalia is a 34-year-old woman currently pregnant with her fourth child. In her previous pregnancies, Dalia never took prenatal vitamins or supplements due to cost. However, during this pregnancy, Dalia has experienced muscle and joint pain, exhaustion, hair loss and nail breakage, weakness in appetite, and other symptoms that have interfered with her day-to-day activities.
Donors like you helped make it possible for Dalia to receive critical supplements, free of charge. After she started taking the prenatal vitamins regularly, she felt a significant improvement in her health. “My hair has become healthier, and I’m able to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother with more energy. My appetite has [also] improved and my blood test results are excellent compared to the beginning of the pregnancy,” Dalia shared.
