OUR VISION
We are all deserving of equal medical care.
At Advocate International, our vision is to create a not for profit organisation which is transparent and achieves the goal of effective giving.
Our mission is driven by two main goals:
1. To help provide access to medical treatments for those who are less fortunate; who have acute and/or chronic health problems; and have trouble accessing or sustaining access to appropriate health care for their medical condition(s).
2. To help create awareness and improve health literacy surrounding different medical conditions by creating health resources in multiple languages.
Health literacy, particularly in the developing world, can be very poor, often contributing to misconception and discrimination. At Advocate International, we hope to ease this burden by creating easy to understand health resources that can be readily distributed within the communities we assist.
Advocate International was established in order to help close the gap in access to essential medical care, which exists in developing nations among disadvantaged individuals. We hope to reduce the health associated costs imposed upon individuals and their support networks.
Through funding, we can help provide individuals with medications, medical equipment, transport to access specialist appointments, and help cover the costs of specialist and allied health appointments.
How are we doing this?
Currently, we are sponsoring Achini, who is living with cerebral palsy. We are assisting her by paying for her monthly medications and medical equipment directly to her Pharmacy. We are covering the cost for her transport to her medical appointments also. Although Achini and her family benefit greatly from our sponsorship, they are not directly involved in any monetary transactions. All raised funds are directly transferred to respective medical services. We are hoping to do this as long as she needs us to.
We hope that this charity will become a long term venture, with the ability to support people from a number of different countries across the globe.
