Problem?

Ugkpo, a 3-year-old Nigerian boy, has been suffering from cholera for months before dying because of the disease. This poor boy has caught it by drinking from the village’s river. Abdalla, his dad, couldn’t afford buying bottled water nor vaccinating his only child because it would cost him a fortune compared to his daily salary and his corrupted government didn’t provide the city with healthy water nor with free vaccines.

Ugkpo isn’t the only one, 14.28% of infants aged less than 5 years in Nigeria die. And one of the main reasons is the very low amount of money spent on the health sector of the country. In fact, the health expenditure of Nigeria was 3% of the country’s GDP compared to 16% of USA’s GDP.

What Should We Do?

Therefore, we have created health-for-less. a truck that saves lives for a cheaper price.

Health-for-less is a new concept medic truck that offers vaccines for all kids of Nigeria. In addition to that, the truck welcomes all urgent cases to provide them with first aid assistance. And all that is not for free!

People may ask, but how those poor people will be able to afford baying the bill of the service knowing that they are very poor?

In fact, it is true that the services we will be providing are not for free, but every patient that benefits from our service will be able to pay the bill with recycled plastic bottles collected by himself instead of paying the bill with actual money.

We will be collecting the plastic bottles we receive; we will be pressing them into cubes and then sell it to plastic companies to generate money.

In this way, family will be obliged to recycle plastic and save their environment, they won’t pay bills in real money anymore and there won’t be new Ugkpos anymore.

As Our company contributes to the following SDG: Good health and Well-being (SDG3)

 

 

Which is why we are asking you for an amount of 1 million $ to be able to buy 10 trucks and one plastic press machine for every 36 states of Nigeria so we can start operating and start to save lives as soon as possible.
