For many of us, a visit to the doctor
is a routine occurrence. Americans on average visit
a doctor over three times a year; nearly five times
per year for those older than 45. Some 1.3 billion
drugs are prescribed for use in 60% of these visits.
It is not like that throughout the world.
Each morning the homeless and destitute awaken on
dirt alleys and streets in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Those
families fortunate to own or rent housing live in
dilapidated structures that often support leaky
roofs, inadequate plumbing, and untreated water.
Some 65% of this city’s near 3 million inhabitants
live below the poverty line. The average family
earns $1,490 a year. Four out of ten people earn
under $2 a day. Nearly 45% of children suffer from
malnutrition.
Medical treatment is beyond the reach of ordinary
citizens of Guayaquil. It is not affordable. No
money, little hope.
Hands of Compassion is helping the poor and
underprivileged of Guayaquil. But we need your help!
For just pennies a day you can make a profound
impact on the health and well-being of people in
need.
