How your sponsorship money could help
This is Girlie Macuja, who is 41 years old and has five children. She lives on Malalison Island in the Philippines, which has no basic health facilities.
ActionAid consulted women on the island, who explained that they needed a boat ambulance to use if an emergency or disaster struck, to take patients to the nearest main city of Culasi.
ActionAid helped the islanders to get a boat ambulance. Girlie says:
The boat ambulance is a really big help to us here in Malalison. My mother was the second beneficiary of the boat when she had a heart attack. She fell down and her head was bleeding. That's why we needed to rush her to the hospital using the boat."
With your help, ActionAid can help more women like Girlie.
