In moto con l'Africa
The In Moto con L’Africa project was born at the
beginning of 2020 with the aim of
raising awareness among riders and raising
funds for transporting healthcare professionals in the areas where CUAMM operates, where motorbike ambulances are
often
the only vehicle that can actually reach the most isolated villages
in time to help. Motorbike ambulances are essential for delivering medicines and vaccines and
transporting new mothers to health facilities, reducing the infant mortality rate by 40%.
You can contribute to the project supported by Dainese Expedition
Master Uganda, even without participating, by making a donation to Doctors with Africa
CUAMM.
