All contributions are matched 1:1 until December 15th!
At SSEJ’s Medical Clinic, we currently see 400 patients a month and sadly, because of the ongoing violence, poverty, and hunger in and around Gondar, that number is rapidly growing soon to reach 600 monthly patients.
Which is why we are asking for your help in equipping, staffing, and ramping up our Medical Clinic to handle this heavier patient load.
At SSEJ Medical Clinic, we see all patients. There are no long waits. And never any charges for our services. Staff doctors and nurses are paid as Clinic employees. But patients and their families never see a bill—ever. Doctor diagnosis and treatment, and nursing care, are both free to all our patients. As are all laboratory tests and medications, available in our newly built pharmacy.
As you can imagine, in a poor nation like Ethiopia, medical treatment is often just unaffordable, especially to those who need it most. And now, your donation will help us pay for the cost of the treatment—so our Ethiopian Jews and their families don’t have to.
Your contribution to the Clinic immediately goes to work helping us care for our young Jewish patients.
Prior to the SSEJ’s Medical Clinic, the suffering of Jewish children in Gondar was more terrible than most people I know can conjure. Your donation, in any amount, will go directly toward hiring additional doctors and clinical staff to buying laboratory equipment, including a new ultrasound machine and a much- needed “CBC machine” for detecting blood disorders and other medical conditions and for additional medications, since our newly built Pharmacy is going through our
supply much faster than anticipated.
In Ethiopia, 5% of children do not live beyond the age of 5. But here, at SSEJ Medical Pediatric Clinic, we have not had a single patient death—child or adult.
So please.
Take a moment out of your busy schedule to support our Clinic financially while this is still in front of you.
Even a small donation of as little as $10 can buy the medication a child needs to breathe easier, feel better, get rid of chronic or acute pain, heal from injury, or knock out a potentially dangerous infection.
Something as simple as an antibiotic or vitamin that American Jews take for granted and can get in minutes – but is often unattainable for parents of very sick children here in Gondar.
