Babeni* was suffering and weak, but no one knew why. Day after day his family thought he was just aging and under a curse. He and his family gave up hope and thought all was lost because even the inadequately supplied clinic they had visited didn’t have the supplies needed to diagnose what was wrong.
Then Babeni’s daughter heard the new clinic received supplies and was ready to see patients. The shipment of supplies had been sent by FAME and made possible by you and partners like you!
Babeni was able to visit the clinic, and the newly arrived blood pressure cuff was used to identify the cause of his weakness and decline. Hypertension, or high blood pressure. Even here in the USA hypertension is often called a “silent disease” because you usually don’t know that you have it. But here in America our doctors have an abundance of supplies like Blood pressure cuffs! CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and many other stores have BP stations where you can check your own blood pressure!
Access to healthcare and even health information is limited and even non-existent to 400 million of the people of the world. Men and women like Babeni are at risk of dying before they have a chance to even hear the gospel.
Babeni’s story ends well – a few lifestyle changes and a diuretic was able to be prescribed and his life is extended. Your FAME partner can now tell him and his family all about Jesus- and he has time to respond to the good news!
Thank you for your partnership! You make it possible for FAME to send help and hope every day to global partners who are saving lives for eternity!
Thank you!

*Babeni’s name is changed, but his story is real and repeated time and time again!
