Completed : UBUMWE COMMUNITY CENTER – SURGERY AND REHAB SERVICES (2021)

About the Project

In partnership with the Ubumwe Community Centre, A Better World helps ensure that children with disabilities can receive the surgeries and rehabilitation services they need to reach their full potential. There is a constant and going need for surgeries, but they can only be performed as funding becomes available. Due to the generosity of our donors, hundreds of children have already received life-changing procedures. With your continued support, we look forward to developing our Surgery and Rehabilitation program even further in 2021.
