The Chief Executive Officer of Helpster Charity US Inc, Kate Lysykh, noted that it has been a challenging but impactful journey for the tech charity startup, and expressed gratitude to all its partners, hospitals, volunteers, donors and the entire Helpster team for their contributions towards the progress made in the last one year, adding that the nonprofit has learnt from the challenges and is now more strategically positioned to achieve its mission of ensuring that no child dies or suffers because of financial constraint.
“It has been an interesting journey so far for us at Helpster. There have been challenges but we’re emboldened and encouraged by the impact we’re creating on the lives of underprivileged children in poor areas, funding their medicare and restoring their hopes and aspirations. We have been able, through donor contributions on our app and website, to fund the treatments of over 250 children in 5 countries across Asia and Africa where healthcare is most needed. We impacted 5000 indigent families and now have over 50 verified hospitals and close to 100 volunteers.
“I’m delighted that we persevered through the challenges. We now have a robust partner network and a system that manages our admission process and has entrenched increased efficiency as well as transparency, ensuring that every dollar donated by our kind donors makes a palpable difference in the life of a child admitted into our programme. We envision a world where vital healthcare is available to all, especially the economically disadvantaged, and Helpster is creating an impact in this regard through our app and website”, Lysykh stated.
She called on well-meaning individuals to join forces with Helpster on this journey of saving vulnerable children in underserved regions by donating on the app or on www.helpstercharity.org.
