Adopt A Doctor is a nonprofit that works to keep doctors working in their home countries. Essentially, they provide salaries to doctors in the poorest countries in the world to minimize them from leaving their home land, keep them invested in serving their communities, and decrease the number of lives that are lost to common diseases. Generally, $70/month is all that is needed to keep a doctor in his home village.
Many of the families travel incredible distances just to obtain basic medical care, and 44 miles is a distance that is commonly travelled on foot to save lives. Malawi, Sierra Leone, Haiti, and Mali are some of the countries that Adopt A Doctor works in.
Many, many, many thanks for your support!!!!
