The Helmand Children’s Medical Fund
Through a partnership with War Kids Relief, Dr. Coppola’s publisher, NTI Upstream, will donate 10% of book sales made on this website to the Helmand Children’s Medical Fund (HCMF).
Money raised will provide medical aid to children living in Kabul’s largest internally displaced person camp. In the U.S. led effort to hunt down Taliban, many civilians have lost their homes due to bombing and violence. Thousands of families have fled Helmand Province and are currently living in makeshift camps on the outskirts of Kabul, where open defecation, lack of toilets, and poor sanitation, have accelerated the spread of disease. Currently, more than 70% of the 2,000 children living there have pneumonia.
By purchasing the book online you will be contributing directly to three hospitals in Kabul, Afghanistan that are providing medical care to displaced children. Each $30 earned may help save the life of a child.
