A huge thank you from PROJECT C.U.R.E. to the Denver Lions Club!
Established in 1987, Project C.U.R.E. is the world’s largest distributor of medical donations to developing countries. Project C.U.R.E. operates distribution centers in Colorado, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Arizona, as well as 9 collection centers across the U.S., collecting donations of excess medical supplies and previous-generation equipment from U.S. hospitals and medical manufacturers. Thanks to the dedication to more than 25,000 volunteers nationwide working 160,000+ hours last year, three to four semi-truck trailer-sized containers of life-saving aid leave Project C.U.R.E.’s Distribution Centers every week. Project C.U.R.E. has touched the lives of patients, families, and children in more than 130 countries.
Thank you to the Denver Lion’s Club for your great generosity and efforts in providing Kits for Kids. The Kit for Kids is a simple, powerful package! As you know, it is filled with personal hygiene and basic “medicine cabinet” items that are scare in the developing world. Due to a lack of access to basic healthcare, 15,000 children under the age of five die every day –with more than half of the conditions being preventable or treatable because families can’t afford or don’t have access to treatment. Kits for Kids allows parents to provide their children with basic care at home to sick or injured children instead of having to travel a long distance by bicycle, bus or even foot to get care. These basic supplies may be impossible or difficult to obtain and can mean the difference between life and death for kids around the world.
The Kits that you donated were sent out in containers and also hand-carried by medical professionals on Clinic trips around the world. Your Kits were delivered to Honduras, Ghana, and Zambia. Last year, your contribution added to a total of over 10,000 Kits for Kids that were delivered to over 30 countries. By completing a Kit for Kids, you have helped Project C.U.R.E. deliver health and hope to the world. Project C.U.R.E. wants to send a huge thank you to the Denver Lion’s Club and we look forward to working with you again! You have made a huge difference to kids and families around the world!
