Help Us Eradicate Rheumatic Heart Disease in Micronesia

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is preventable, yet it continues to take young lives across the Pacific. In 2026, our team is launching a motivated and expanded effort to reduce the long-term burden of RHD in Micronesia through early screening, timely treatment, community education, and local capacity building.

Our Goal

By 2030, our program will reduce the long-term burden of RHD in Micronesia by screening 100% of the adolescent population, ensuring timely treatment and referral for all suspected cases, and building sustainable local capacity through ongoing education and health-worker training.

Why This Matters

RHD often begins with a simple untreated strep throat infection, but over time, it can cause lifelong heart damage or early death. Screening, antibiotics, and community awareness can stop the disease entirely. Early intervention saves lives, keeps children in school, and protects families and communities.

Join Us in Saving Young Hearts

Thanks to generous pledges, every dollar you give will be matched—dollar for dollar—up to the first $100,000. This means your gift has double the impact in bringing lifesaving screening, treatment, and education to children and families across Micronesia.

Your contribution, whether big or small, brings us closer to a future where no child in Micronesia suffers from a preventable heart condition. Together, we can strengthen local health systems, expand access to lifesaving care, and build a sustainable path toward eradicating RHD.

Give today and double your impact for young hearts.
