Eligibility Criteria for Project Food & More Assistance

To qualify for medical sponsorship through Project Food & More, recipients must:

  1. Be diagnosed with HIV or a similar stigmatized illness with potential for debilitation

  2. Demonstrate extreme economic hardship, typically with limited or no ability to work due to their health condition

  3. Commit to full compliance with all treatment protocols as directed by qualified medical professionals

All sponsorship funds directly support individuals meeting these strict criteria, ensuring your donation creates maximum impact for those most in need.

How We Help

We meet people right where they are. Our team visits potential recipients in their homes—often just one-room shacks ("gudisalu") in slums or villages with no running water or toilets.

We sit with them, listen to their stories, and see firsthand how medical hardship has affected their lives. Everyone we help must meet our basic criteria, but we focus on understanding each person's unique situation before providing support. This personal approach allows us to deliver exactly what's needed to those trapped in both poverty and illness.

Your Sponsorship: Healing Those the World Has Forgotten

When you sponsor a destitute individual through Project Food & More, you provide life-saving medical care that would otherwise remain completely out of reach. Your generosity funds critical interventions—complex surgeries, specialized burn treatments, and essential long-term rehabilitation—for those living on the streets or in slums who face both financial impossibility and social rejection.

Project Food & More stands alone in our commitment to connect society's most vulnerable members with quality healthcare. We've cultivated partnerships with compassionate hospitals willing to treat patients others turn away due to stigmatized conditions or inability to pay.

Your sponsorship doesn't just save a life—it helps us extend our reach to others equally deserving of dignity and healing. Join us in creating miracles for those who have lost all hope of receiving the medical care they desperately need.
