Bridge2Aid

'Bridge2Aid fights the causes of poverty in some of the poorest communities in the developing world. We do this by strengthening local healthcare systems – specifically by training local healthcare workers in the provision of emergency dental treatment. Oral disease, infection and chronic pain, desperately need to be addressed in these communities to enable people to work, attend school and care for their families. Initially, we have developed our programme in rural Tanzania, and our long term plan is to roll this training out to any country where there is a need.

Stichting Rare Care World

'Rare is common: more than 7000 rare diseases affect around 400 million people worldwide (source: WHO). Sadly, for many of those affected receiving the right treatment at the right time is often not a matter of course. Most of the rare diseases are genetic and present in childhood. 30 % of the children born with a rare condition do not reach the age of 5 years. Delays in diagnosis are often caused by a lack of awareness... At RareCare we aim to be an open information resource for individuals with a rare disease, their families and their care providers.'
