whywe do what we do
14-year-old Shamik's parents used all their wages to pay for treatment for his fever, but it only got worse.
Penniless and desperate they came to one of our Good Shepherd clinics where Shamik received emergency treatment and follow-up care free of charge. He recovered fully.
Shamik's grateful parents said, "We don't like going to clinics - they're expensive, time-consuming and scary. Most places make us poorer, but your care has made us rich!"
This is why we do what we do.
*this is a true story but with changed name and representative image to protect the individual.

HIV and AIDS centres
Our work in areas where there is a prevalence of trafficking and other forms of sexual exploitation has led to the setting up of three HIV and AIDS centres.
medical camps
In the rural areas there are many people who have never been able to see a doctor or a nurse, making them particularly vulnerable to preventable illness and disease.
