Shipment Container Sets Sail!

In December 2023, Wellness for Africa reached out to compassionate supporters like you to help fund the shipment of a 40-foot container filled with donated medical supplies and equipment for St. Dominic’s Mission Hospital in Ndola, Zambia. This hospital, operated by the Missionary Sisters of the Dominican Order, is the only free healthcare provider for over 17,000+ patients within a 35-mile radius—people who would otherwise have little to no access to healthcare due to poverty.
 
Partnering with the Dominican Missionary Sisters, we set a fundraising goal of $42,600. Thanks to the generosity of countless individuals, two church communities, and several family foundations across the nation, **we achieved it!**
On September 19th, 2024, friends and family gathered at Project C.U.R.E.’s Kansas City location to celebrate and help load over 800 boxes of medical supplies and equipment into a 40-foot container. Project C.U.R.E., the largest distributor of donated medical supplies in the world, was instrumental in making this effort a reality.
The shipment, valued at an incredible $539,000, includes life-saving equipment like a mobile C-Arm X-ray machine for surgeries, an ultrasound machine, patient gurneys, dental equipment, oxygen concentrators, infant incubators, warming systems, surgery lights, patient beds, and countless other essential supplies. The container left Kansas City on September 19th and will take approximately 2-3 months to reach St. Dominic’s Hospital in Ndola.

We look forward to sharing the news of its arrival! Meanwhile, we at Wellness for Africa are deeply moved by and grateful for the unwavering support of our donors. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for sharing your blessings with a community in need.
