Make a Gift: Support the Work of Tiyatien Health

Every donation, no matter how large or small, helps us sustain and expand our work to deliver life-saving health care to those who need it most. You’re just a few clicks away from making a profound difference in someone’s life.  Click here to donate any amount or choose a gift below.  

TH is also in need of gifts-in-kind (e.g. laptops, digital cameras). Please click here to see how you can fulfill our gifts-in-kind wish list.  

 

Click here to join our Partners Circle and give $1 per day for one year. The Tiyatien Health Partners Circle seeks to prove that a community-driven initiative can rebuild a model world-class health system in the poorest corner of one of the world's poorest countries -- war-torn Liberia.

 

Click here to give $40 -- provides a monthly salary to a community health worker. Community health workers form the backbone of Tiyatien Health's health and social services. One of the largest employers in southeastern Liberia, TH employs over 40 community health workers (so-called "accompaniers") to provide home-based health and social services, including delivering medications, refering ill people to the health center, and raising awareness about health and disease among the most vulnerable communities. $40 provides a monthly salary to a community health worker.

Click here to give $60 -- improves access to antiretroviral medications for one year to one HIV patient. Every year more than 3 million people die from AIDS. Our HIV Equity Initiative -- the first community-based and largest rural HIV care program in Liberia -- has revolutionized access to life-saving HIV treatment, or antiretroviral medications, for Liberia's rural poor.  $60 will allow us to continue to sustain the HIV Equity Initiative and provide access to HIV treatment for our over 400 women, children and families living with AIDS.

 

 

Click here to give $200 – buys supplies for our women's and patient support groups to start small businesses and rehabilitate farms. Our efforts do not end at treating disease.  We believe that eradicating poverty is the only way to end the vicious cycle between poverty and disease.  As our patients health improves, we give them tools to break the poverty cycle by restarting businesses and rehabilitating their farms.  $200 provides supplies (e.g. sewing machines) and training (e.g. for farming), respectively, for our women's rights program and HIV/AIDS patient support group.

 

Click here to give $250 – allows us to purchase essential medicines for our patients. We just launched a Comprehensive Care Clinic, which is providing healthcare for people with epilepsy and depression for the first time in our region. Last year, a study performed by TH and partners showed over 40% of Liberians suffer from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder after the war.  $250 would allow us to purchase medicines to supply this essential clinic, which is already providing care to over 150 patients.

 

 

Click here to give $500 – provides salary support for our doctors and clinicans. After war, only 50 doctors remain to serve Liberia's 3.5 million people and only 1 doctor serves over 200,000 people living in our region.  Supporting the salaries of health worker is an effective way to increase access to healthcare in rural areas.  $500 would support the salary of our current clinical staff at our Comprehensive Care Clinic, which provides care for over 500 women, children and men with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, epilepsy and depression.

 

 

Click here to give any amount – big or small, your dollars will go far in improving the lives of our patients. We can guarantee it will go a long way toward bringing health and hope to the lives of our patients and their communities.
