Our mission
The mission of the Corda Unitum Foundation is to provide support and medical assistance to Senegal and Sub-Saharan Africa. Our primary goal is to deliver an ambulance to the city of Touba, ensuring prompt and effective medical care in emergency situations.
Why are we doing this?
The driving force behind the foundation’s actions is a tragic story…
Several years ago, the wife of our friend, Captain, fell ill just one month after giving birth to their daughter. Family members arranged transport to the Serigne Mouhamadou Moustapha Mbacke Health Center in Touba. Unfortunately, they did not make it in time, and the woman passed away. They didn’t call for an ambulance because there wasn’t one at all! Unfortunately, this situation persists to this day – a lack of ambulances, a lack of sirens to signal approaching help, and numerous tragedies…
Through fundraising for an ambulance our aim is not only to provide medical equipment but also to offer training to local healthcare workers, enhancing their skills and effectiveness in providing emergency care.
Our mission is fueled by passion and dedication to those in need. We believe that by building a community of United Hearts, we can change the world and make it a better place – one filled with love, support, and hope!
Alarming data!
According to a UNICEF report from 2020, as much as 70% of all maternal deaths during the perinatal period occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa!
“For millions of families, the miracle of childbirth is marred by the tragedy of maternal death,” said Catherine Russell, UNICEF’s Executive Director. “No mother should fear for her life while bringing a child into the world.”
Lack of access to medical care and low levels of healthcare are among the main causes of this alarming statistic.
The primary goal of the Corda Unitum Foundation is to improve healthcare by purchasing an ambulance for the healthcare centre in city of Touba and implementing a training program for medical personnel. Initiatives aimed at raising the level of education and awareness among the local community are also crucial.
We are working intensively to achieve our goal. We know that every help contributes to saving human lives. Join us today so that together, as we build a global community of united hearts, we can make the world a better place for mothers and children in need.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment.
