Project Overview

The LVC Emergency Medical fund was designed to facilitate much needed health care access to vulnerable children by delivering them to Health centers for treatment and covering their medical expenses. Transport, food etc. We support children get access to Health care when they urgently need it that may be getting them to nearby health centers, District referral Hospital also Regional referral Hospitals on the Mainland. These are most disadvantaged children in the villages who will otherwise never be taken to Hospital due to poverty. The Emergence medical fund is an ongoing project operating on daily bases once the emergence occurs. Our village Ambassadors in their areas identify children in urgent need of medical support and report to LVC for coordination of support.
