Together, we can bring lasting health & dignity to this community

Ankilivalo Hospital needs your support to keep serving mothers, children, and families in one of the most deprived regions of Madagascar. No mother should have to give birth under a tree. No child should go without treatment because there is no light or a bed.

One man’s journey uncovered a crisis.

Your generosity will help heal it.

When Umano’s Director of Outreach and Community Engagement, Kamran Ali, was cycling across Africa, he never imagined he would come across a hospital in such urgent need. In Ankilivalo Village, Madagascar, the CSB2 Hospital was in dire condition. Only two out of six beds were usable. Patients lay on the floor because there were no mattresses. There was no electricity, no light at night, and no working fans to ease the suffocating heat.

Before

Kamran witnessed a woman giving birth outside, under a tree, because the birthing bed was broken and the ward was too hot to enter. Many patients did not even have enough to buy basic medicines like paracetamol. He shared the hospital’s story, and what happened next was beyond belief. People stepped in from all over the world. With your help and the support of Umano, which contributed an ultrasound machine and assistance for medicine and supplies, the hospital was completely transformed.

 

Together, we achieved:

  1. The purchase of essential medicines, injections, and vitamins
  2. New mattresses and pillows so no patient has to sleep on the floor
  3. A 5.5 kW solar system to power lights, fans, and vital equipment throughout the hospital and staff quarters
  4. Brand-new beds, birthing beds, chairs, tables, and cabinets
  5. Modern medical equipment, including an ultrasound machine, ECG, oxygen concentrators, and nebulizers
  6. Renovation of the ceiling and fresh paint throughout the hospital
  7.  The first and only bicycle ambulance in Madagascar
  8. Free medicine, baby formula, and meals for patients and their families

But the work is not over. Ankilivalo Hospital still needs your support to keep serving mothers, children, and families in one of the most underserved regions of Madagascar.

After

At Umano, we work across the world with empathy to bring hope, healing, and humanity to those who need it most.
