Join us TODAY to help improve vaccine access

 
It’s World Immunization Week, and we invite you to join VillageReach in our vision to ensure that everyone has access to life-saving vaccines, no matter where they live. 
Make a gift to improve vaccine delivery
Last year, even as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine vaccinations, VillageReach and our partners were using drones to support Yellow Fever immunization campaigns in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Only
56% of people living in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been vaccinated against Yellow Fever. That’s well below the 80% minimum recommended by the WHO, leaving the country very vulnerable to a resurgence of the disease – which can be deadly, but is also preventable.

Our drones delivered 32,460 Yellow Fever vaccines, immunizing 27,788 people living in hard-to-reach regions of the country's Equateur province.

With your support, we can go even farther in 2022, so every person can have access to life-saving vaccines and medicine, even as services are strained by global challenges.
