We are launching an appeal for donations to support two organizations committed to improving the living conditions of the most disadvantaged: the Dispensaire-Maternité Saint Gabriel de Matoto and the Africamy association, actively working for health and education.

As the rainy season approaches, access to healthcare becomes even more difficult for these already vulnerable populations. To meet this urgent need, we need to support these two organizations.

Maternity clinic Saint Gabriel de Matoto

Since 1987, this faith-based primary care center has been committed to quality of welcome, honesty, efficiency and fraternal teamwork.

The dispensary provides the most disadvantaged Guinean population with access to quality care in dignified conditions, with fixed rates of 15,000 GNF for children and 35,000 GNF for adults, including consultation, advice on good hygiene practices and nutrition, laboratory tests and access to medicines.

With 60% of paediatric consultations, the dispensary sees up to 600 people a day, depending on the period. In 2022, over 135,000 Guineans came to the dispensary for treatment, and more than 1,200 women gave birth there. According to a report, 91% of moderately malnourished children treated at Saint Gabriel were cured by 2022.

The dispensary also has a maternity ward, an emergency room, a pharmacy for dispensing medicines and a laboratory.

The dispensary, whose running costs are largely covered by donations and voluntary work, needs continuity of support. The ever-increasing cost of drugs makes it difficult to balance the budget year after year.

It’s against this backdrop that we’ve been supporting the Saint Gabriel de Matoto dispensary for over 5 years, with a wide range of financial and material initiatives.

Association Africamy

Since 2014, the Africamy association has been organizing solidarity actions every year, mainly in remote areas of Guinea, to combat illiteracy, medical insecurity and precarious health.
