The main content and aim of work of Magna Children at risk workers is providing medical care for children and their families in times of humanitarian crises, conflicts, epidemics, famines and natural disasters. Magna Children at risk creates medical humanitarian projects aimed at saving lives and alleviating suffering to those who are at risk. Conflicts and unstable political situation have a devastating influence on ordinary people – direct violence, forced evacuation, epidemics, famines and psychic trauma are the common consequences of all that, often accompanied by disrupted local health services.

PROJECT IN THREE CONTINENTS

Magna Children at risk provides medical and social aid to people in need in three continents, in 8 countries. Every year beside reacting on humanitarian disasters and rendering primary medical care, we open long-term projects aimed at helping the people to whom their own community or non-functioning government cannot provide adequate medical care. The projects are focused on treatment and care about people afflicted by diseases such as HIV/AIDS, acute malnutrition, tuberculosis, cholera, malaria and other.
