Where we work

Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world. SolidarMed works in a targeted way to relieve pressure on the ailing health system and deliver emergency aid.

Lesotho is a small mountainous country surrounded by South Africa. SolidarMed delivers medical care to remote villages in the north of the country.

Healthcare provision for rural populations is still inadequate in East Africa’s largest country. SolidarMed is therefore working to promote access to healthcare services in remote areas, protect people from diseases like tuberculosis, and improve newborn survival rates.

Zimbabwe’s health system is suffering from decades of economic decline, an exodus of skilled workers, and a growing number of extreme weather events. SolidarMed works to ensure better access to quality healthcare for rural areas in the south-east of the country.

In Zambia there is only one qualified doctor for every 10,000 people. And 90% of this small pool of doctors work in large towns and cities. One reason for this is a lack of housing and unappealing working and training conditions in rural areas.

As home to 42 ethnic groups, with different cultures, languages and religions, Kenya is a true multi-ethnic country. Despite its economic growth, a large section of the population lives below the poverty line.

In economic terms, South Africa is in a better overall position than its neighbours but it is also the world’s most unequal country. With a prevalence rate of 18.9 percent, it is one of the most HIV/AIDS-affected countries in the world.
