“We are sharing our stories of the strides we’ve made in 2023 with our supporters, who consistently give us love and encouragement.”

Looking around, we find ourselves facing a towering wall. With advancements in science and technology, such as space exploration and AI, the shadows of war, global warming, and human greed are looming larger. In this evolving world, there’s an increasing need for compassion. From the Sahel in Africa to the sugarcane fields of Dominica in Latin America, our hearts are in the right place. We have a lot on our plate–challenges to confront, goals to chase, and fears of falling short. But the love and support from our backers rejuvenate us with a renewed sense of purpose and vigor.

Our Vision Health for All Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity; it is a fundamental human right (Alma Ata Declaration, Article 1, 1978). However, despite humanity's remarkable progress, we are still far from achieving a world where “everyone is healthy”, especially for the poor and people in vulnerable situations. We find it unacceptable that inequity in health and disparity in health outcomes persist (Astana Declaration, Article 3, 2018). Thus, we reach out to numerous people who need our help.

Our Mission We devote our resources to care for the marginalized and restore their dignity.

Türkiye & Syria

In February 2023, a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocked the southeastern province of Turkestan, spilling over into neighboring Syria. The quake claimed the lives of over 50,000 individuals and left over 108,000 injured, with more than three million people displaced. In response, GlobalCare provided emergency tents to survivors in Turkestan and delivered food and supplies to displaced camps. We extended assistance to Syrians, who were already grappling with a 12-year civil war compounded by the earthquake. Over a period of nine months, we distributed food, supplies, and medicine and provided medical care across six regions, striving to alleviate the suffering of those affected by this dual crisis.

Ukraine

11 2023 Annual Report

It has been two years since the Ukraine-Russia war erupted in 2022, and unfortunately, there seems to be no end in sight. As of December 2023, a staggering 14.6 million refugees are in dire need of assistance, with nearly 3.6 million people displaced within Ukraine Beneficiary regions itself. Amidst this ongoing crisis, GlobalCare has remained steadfast in providing

aid to those affected by the devastating conflict in Ukraine. We have extended our support providing food, supplies, and cold weather gear to people in the Korosten region who could not flee the country due to economic hardships, offering assistance on 30 separate occasions for three months.

Haiti & Dominican Republic

Since the president’s assassination in 2021, Haiti has been grappling with a worsening security situation, causing a virtual halt to all logistical movements. This has particularly affected the residents of the secluded Gonave Island, who have endured persistent food shortages and dramatic price hikes on basic necessities. GlobalCare provided emergency food relief and much-needed supplies to vulnerable populations on the island, and ran a quarterly “Hope Clinic” staffed by local medical personnel (two doctors and six nurses). We provided tuition for 75 youths who could not attend school due to poverty and operated an after-school program to teach English and computers skills. We organized sewing and cooking classes for 10 single mothers struggling to make ends meet and gave out microloans.

Currently, Haiti is experiencing alarming levels of gang-related looting, kidnappings, and murders, prompting many of its citizens to seek refuge in other countries. Even neighboring Dominica, however, does not allow their official migration. GlobalCare provided mobile medical care to Haitian migrants in Dominica and operated a clinic to cater to those who were critically ill or in need of ongoing care. We gave out essential medicines and nutritional supplements to vulnerable pregnant women while, providing childbirth education and pre―and post―natal care. We also funded tuition for Haitian medical students and doctors studying in Dominica, helping them complete their education.

Adolescent sexual and reproductive health promotion project in Leyte Province

GlobalCare stepped in Tacloban, Philippines, for emergency relief after Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and has operated disaster response capacity building focusing on public schools and local communities. In 2023, we launched a project to promote adolescent sexual and reproductive health, including teenage mothers, with the goal of reducing the teenage birth rate in the Philippines. As of 2019, the Philippines officially reported more than 7,000 adolescent unwed mothers in the Eastern Visayas region. To improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health awareness in three counties in Leyte province, GlobalCare conducted training for teachers, health workers, and peer educators and improved the environment of community health centers and school nurse offices with more welcoming and safe spaces for adolescents. We also provided pre- and post-natal testing vouchers and nutritional supplements for high-risk teen mothers to help ensure that both mother and fetus are healthy during pregnancy.

Mauritania

Helping TB patients stay on track with their treatment, GlobalCare provided medication management through smartpillboxes, education through in- person visits to and test fee assistance for low-income patients. We strengthened the patient management system by registering TB patient information in a computerized program (MIDMS) to be viewed in real- time from the health center to Mauritanian National TB Agency. Reflecting Mauritania's strong sense of community responsibility, we worked with local associations to train health workers and run campaigns on TB prevention and treatment to raise awareness among residents.

The Dubai neighborhood, a slum on the outskirts of Mauritania's capital city of Nouakchott, lacks schools, health centers, roads, running water, and electricity, resulting in low child literacy rates. GlobalCare organized a literacy program to improve the literacy skills of children in the village. A local association provided a venue for the program, and two teachers instructed 50 children, aged 1 to 15, in spoken and written English and French.

The only Korean doctor in Morrocco, Se-up Park

I became a doctor many dream of, but my heart was still on the African continent. While the 12-hour surgery saved one life, hundreds of people were dying in the war. And then I realized.

I should be here in Morocco, on the African continent, where I can save more lives than in a well-equipped hospital in South Korea.
