A VAN TO SAVE LIVES
Hospital Without Borders Launches
Its Fundraising Campaign
For more than 30 years, the
non-profit organization Hospital
Without Borders (HWB) has
been collecting second-hand
medical equipment in Belgium
and Luxembourg, refurbishing it
and sending it to healthcare
centers that are in urgent need.
Every month, dozens of hospitals,
medical practices, companies and
private individuals contact HWB to
donate hospital beds, wheelchairs,
ultrasound machines and other
medical equipments that are still in
perfectly good working condition.
An essential vehicle… now
reaching the end of its life
After more than 364,000
kilometers on the road and years
of intensive use, HWB’s van is
gradually reaching the end of its
service life. Breakdowns and
repairs are becoming more
frequent, and each period of
immobilization disrupts the entire
collection chain.
For a small non-profit like HWB,
replacing this vehicle
represents a major financial
cost.
A fundraising campaign to
finance its replacement
To ensure the continuity of our
missions, we are therefore
launching a major fundraising
campaign to finance the purchase
of a new van.
Every contribution, even a modest
one, brings us closer to this goal
and helps ensure that our work
can continue. Private donations
are, of course, tax-deductible from
€40.
Rotarians: long-standing
partners
Belgian Rotary Clubs have always
supported Hospital Without
Borders, whether through financial
donations, equipment contributions
or the organization of solidarity
initiatives. Once again, the
involvement of Rotarians would be
a key lever in helping the
association continue its work in
support of global health.
By making a donation, even a small
one, you help us get back on the
road.
At the heart of this logistical
work lies an essential tool: the
association’s van. It enables our
team to collect and transport the
equipment destined for our
humanitarian projects.
Our goal is clear: to acquire a
reliable vehicle, adapted to weekly
collections and enabling us to
optimize the sorting and shipment
of humanitarian medical
equipment.
Target amount: €30,000
You can make a quick and easy
donation via the platform set up
specifically for this campaign:
In Memory of Etienne Rosman
