Your Thanksgiving Donation impacts lives.

Health:

Health is one of the greatest and most overlooked gifts we possess. Existence is meaningless without a healthy mind and body. Despite rapid changes in medical science, half of the world’s population lacks access to quality healthcare services. Moreover, more than 100 million find themselves being pushed into extreme poverty due to unaffordable healthcare expenses. According to the latest report by the World Health Organization, in 2022, 141 governments—representing nearly 84% of the world’s population—allocated less than 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP) to public healthcare.

Moreover, in 2022, 48 low- and middle income countries had to pay more to service debt creditors than they spent on the health of their citizens. This simply means that millions of people around the world are left at the mercy of chance for healing and recovery. You can contribute to the overall well-being of humanity by supporting organizations that provide healthcare facilities to those in need. 

Poverty:

According to the UNDP, nearly 1.1 billion out of the 6.3 billion people worldwide live in multidimensional poverty. Over half of the 1.1 billion poor people are under the age of 18, which simply means that they have limited or no access to quality nourishment, education, and healthcare facilities. Moreover, 40% of the 1.1 billion poor people in the world live in violent conflict areas, which increases their hardships. Poverty leads to various issues.

Hunger:

Hunger is among the most pressing issues. According to the WHO, one in every eleven people worldwide faced hunger in 2023. The situation is more severe in Africa, where one in five people faces hunger. This means that the world will fall well short of achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, which aims to end hunger by 2030. This means that the future of millions of people is at risk, and the world must come together to eradicate poverty and hunger.

Gender Equality:  

Gender equality is another key issue. According to the UN, women and girls face serious barriers in many different aspects of life, including education, employment, and political representation.

According to the UN, if current trends prevail, over 340 million women, constituting 8% of the world’s female population, will face extreme poverty by 2030. The gender gap in power is also very problematic. According to the UN’s estimate, the upcoming generation of women will be spending 2.3 additional hours per day on unpaid care and domestic work compared to men. The path towards equality is important to ensure the well-being of humanity, and thus it is important to support NGOs that aim to empower women.
