Nala* was 8 years old and fell from the roof of her home when she was trying to reach a fruit tree to get fruit for her family. Her left leg was severely twisted and she was unable to walk. Her parents took her to a local “practitioner” who put a mixture of ointments on it and wrapped it in banana leaves.
The problem is that her leg was broken and never healed, which caused her to walk with a handmade crutch. Nala is a member of a loving Christian family who became Christians because of a FAME partner (but this happened before their clinic was built) and who hold children as a gift of God. However, this is not the situation for many children in her region. Numerous children who are injured and unable to work or marry often find themselves in terrible trafficking situations.
YOU HELP PREVENT situations like the one Nala faced by partnering with FAME. Through shipping medical equipment and supplies, such as X-ray machines, children like Nala won’t be at risk of ignoring a fracture or broken bone. Rather, they will be identified and set with a cast, and in only eight weeks, they will be able to run, play, and help out around the home.
WITH YOUR PARTNERSHIP, X-ray machines and hundreds of other critical medical equipment and supplies arrive to destinations where YOU have helped send teams or have sometimes even helped build the clinic or hospital!
Did you know that the average value of the contents inside a FAME shipping container is approximately $125k? However, this value is a donated value, which means that the medical supplies inside the container are valued at 80% of their USED/REFURBISHED fair market value.
What would be the value new? This is why we say “You are shipping to save millions of dollars of purchases for global partners” when you partner with FAME.
Thank you for saying “Yes!” to FAME, so FAME can say “Yes!” to global partners, so that more people can say “Yes!” to Jesus.
Evangelism is our purpose and focus, but YOU also SAVE CHILDREN and families the heartaches that come from the lack of access to healthcare.
Thank you for your partnership.
