The Link between Poor Health and Poverty
Healthcare should be everyone’s right. Yet, about half the world’s population doesn’t have access to basic healthcare. Muslim Hands Canada is committed to helping people access healthcare so they can live a more promising life. We operate a myriad of healthcare initiatives in underprivileged communities. When an emergency like an earthquake, drought, or a flood strikes, we run clinics and mobile health units to provide lifesaving treatment in countries like Yemen and Pakistan. To address the alarming maternal and infant mortality rates in Sub-Saharan Africa, we have established Motherkind clinics in Mali and Niger, offering free, lifesaving healthcare to pregnant women, new mothers, and infants in need.
We also operate eye camps in underprivileged communities. In Africa, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness and vision loss. Through our eye camps, we provide free cataract-removal surgery for those who cannot afford it. Our health care solutions are tailored and specific, addressing the needs of individual communities. The lack of adequate healthcare services claims millions of lives worldwide and has severe economic consequences, forcing children out of school and leaving adults unable to support their families. Through your support, we can provide healthcare to the less fortunate, so they can build a prosperous future for themselves and their families.

Our Response to the Global Pandemic
The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic brought the world to a standstill. The virus claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands.
Despite the challenges our teams on the ground remained committed to helping those most in need, responding to the pandemic by:
- Creating isolation packs that contain basic food items such as rice, cereals, and tinned food, as well as diapers, toilet paper, and soap.
- Producing medical packs for global front line medical officials, including medical masks, medical gowns, surgical disposable gloves, medical goggles, and hand sanitizers.
- Generating awareness and education about personal hygiene to avoid a further spread of the virus.
You can help us continue our vital work by donating to our health fund so that our experts on the ground can continue providing support for those that need it most.
