- Have you ever wondered how primary medical care reach people in remote parts of the world?
- Have you ever imagined how rural farmers, barely able to feed their families, can afford basic medical care for their children, young women of child bearing age, and the elderly?
- Can you imagine how a small improvement in access to primary medical care leads to significant improvement in health status?
"Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life's blood. But everyone has something to give."…Barbara Bush
Umu Aro USA, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to attending to humanitarian needs of people in remote parts of Nigeria. These areas of Southeastern Nigeria have become isolated as a result of prolonged government neglect; poor access roads and lack of other basic infrastructures, like portable water, compounds the challenge of primary health care education and delivery.
“The love we give away is the only love we keep. ….Elbert Hubbard:
