Medical Care

Maternal and child health are two of the most serious issues in Ethiopia.  Health centers are understaffed, under resourced, and cannot support the mother and child properly.  Sadly, many infants and children do not make it beyond the age of five due to an unsanitary environment, diarrheal disease, acute respiratory infection, and lack of medical care/medicine.  BTM seeks to provide medical care for our sponsored families through coverage of financial expenses, transportation to/from medical appointments, medical supply distributions, and experienced medical personnel.  While our sponsored families do receive limited medical support via individual sponsorships; unexpected and large medical expenses are provided through our General Donation funds.
