That's right, we came in
1st Place!
At the final
count, we had 343 unique donors, who donated a
total of $38,151, which
was matched with $13,572 from Global Giving,
and won us a $10,000
bonus! That means that thanks to your help,
Action for Health now has
an additional $61,723 for 2010. That is a huge
help, and we cannot thank you enough.
By helping to support Action for
Health, you are working with us to reduce child
mortality in a
country where 1 in 5 children die
prematurely. Action for Health allows slum
residents to exchange community
service work, or "Action Fees," for
free health care. Action
Fees range from working at a
recycling plant to volunteering
in local elections to participating
in health festivals.
Community Health
Workers and our new clinic will provide free
services, and in exchange,
families� health actions will create social,
political, and economic
value that will be re-invested in the clinic
and in the community. To read more about
