Many families across the Caribbean and Latin America lack access to healthcare, cannot afford basic medicines, or struggle with transportation costs to reach the nearest hospital.
Families who have access to healthcare and basic medicines are more likely to access education and be able to sustain their own livelihood.
Food For The Poor Canada ships and distributes medicines, medical machinery, hospital beds, and medical supplies to underserved hospitals and clinics across the Caribbean and Latin America, improving access to healthcare.
