For more than two years, The Impilo Project has been bringing quality healthcare directly into underserved communities, serving more than 3,000 patients through its healthcare programmes. The campaign aims to raise R670,000 to support what will be one of the largest healthcare days in the project’s history.

The healthcare day will bring together medical professionals, volunteers, businesses, and community organisations to provide medical consultations, women’s health services, counselling, health screenings, preventative healthcare education, and referral pathways to ongoing care.

“Real change happens when people come together. Through this campaign, we hope to bring organisations, businesses, healthcare professionals, and individuals together to make quality healthcare more accessible to those who need it most. Every contribution has the power to change a life.”
