You Help Us Deliver Hope!
“Children used to die very often, from pneumonia or dehydration, vomiting, and even diarrhea. Mothers gave birth at home, and many of them died during childbirth. Fortunately, thanks to your support, things have changed for the better!
“Now, when there is an emergency, we are able to coordinate with the health authorities and get an ambulance. If there is a pregnant mom, sick child, or injured person, we can get them to a hospital. Women do not give birth at home; they deliver their babies safely at a health unit. And if there are complications, they can be transferred to a hospital.”

How We Help
AMOS equips local people with the training and resources to treat illnesses, prevent death and disease, and strengthen collaboration to facilitate health care for the community, and by the community.
Imagine a world...
Imagine a world where the place you are born does not determine your opportunity in life – where every one of God’s children has the physical, emotional, and spiritual health needed to unlock their full potential.
