Help Give Buyé Families Access to Medical Care
Every year in September, the Diocese of Edmonton raises money to purchase medical cards for households in our partner diocese in Burundi Each $5 we raise gives an adult and all children in their care access to medical care and 80% off medical bills for a year. Many of these households are led by grandmothers caring for orphaned grandchildren. They survive by subsistence farming and often can’t afford necessities. The Diocese of Buyé has identified access to medical cards as the most pressing need in the communities they serve. In 2025, we raised enough to provide life-changing medical care to 1451 households. Let’s keep it up! You can donate in September at your church and on our website. There are no administration fees, so 100% of your gift goes directly to families in need. |
