“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” ― Mother Teresa
Help Us Create Mobile Medicine Kits For Rural Families:
In many rural villages, access to basic medical supplies is critically limited, leaving families at risk during emergencies. When a child gets injured, the long journey to the nearest hospital can delay vital care.
The Aya Project is collaborating with local healthcare providers in Ivory Coast to equip families with essential medical supplies directly in their homes. This January, we will distribute "Mobile Medicine Kits" to ensure that families have immediate access to the care they need.
We are currently gathering supplies to include in these kits and invite clubs, teams, and organizations to join us in this important mission. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the health and well-being of these communities. Your support can help us reach our goal of assembling 40 kits—let's work together to bring vital care closer to those who need it most!
This year, our goal is to provide 40 kits to families in need!
Help us create these kits by donating items or assembling them yourself. Your generosity truly makes a difference!
