Global Statistics
While access to healthcare is a basic human right, millions of people still lack essential medical services. ADRA works to improve community health by providing clean water, medical care, and preventive education. When health systems are strengthened, families thrive, children grow stronger, and communities become more resilient.
Every day, preventable diseases continue to take lives simply because people cannot access doctors, vaccines, or clean water. ADRA is committed to changing that — one community at a time.
Half the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services
2 billion people face catastrophic or impoverishing health expenses each year
5 million children under age 5 die annually from preventable causes
Health
Health is at the heart of so much of the world’s poverty and suffering. When communities don’t have enough nutrition, when they depend on unsafe water sources, when they don’t have access to reliable healthcare, every life suffers.
Finding sustainable ways to improve access to nutrition, clean water, healthcare, and health information can be the difference between life and death for the men, women, and children you help us serve around the world every day.
