In as many as 35 of the poorest countries, 30 ?50% of the population may have no access to health services at all.

"I came to do my Primary Health care School in 1998, because I wanted to help the poor…I wanted to do something…not just words but actions…I wanted to demonstrate God’s love."

Nirina A is from Madagascar, and is now on staff with our Compassion DTS
