In 2023, an estimated 4.8 million children under age five died, most from preventable or treatable causes like pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and complications around birth.

Each number represents a child with a name, a family, and a future that could have been different with access to essential medicine.

Each year, more than 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty because they cannot afford healthcare—often due to pregnancy-related care, childbirth, or chronic illness.

Why This Matters: When women lack access to affordable medicine and care, entire families—and future generations—are affected.

MAP’s mission began when 11 tons of donated medicine unexpectedly arrived—launching over 70 years of global healing. Since 1954, MAP International has earned recognition as one of the most trusted medical charities from organizations like Forbes, Charity Navigator, and Candid.

In 2025, MAP served 100 countries, reaching people across continents with lifesaving care.

In 2025 alone, MAP delivered 46 million patient treatments, reaching families, children, and communities in need.

Every $1 helps provide about $65 worth of medicine, health supplies, and medical devices—thanks to donated resources and strategic partnerships.
