Healthcare and welfare
Hospital equipment, an oxygen campaign during COVID-19, and support for families when it matters most.
Patients on the floor
When Karim arrived in Kasserine with equipment during the pandemic, he asked the director where the furniture was. "We don't have any," came the answer. Patients were lying on the floor under blankets.
That was the start of the oxygen campaign. Hospitals received beds, furniture, masks and oxygen concentrators, and deliveries reached every region of Tunisia.

Welfare all year round
A day at the sea
Residents of a nursing home spent a day at the beach. Some saw the sea for the first time.
Ramadan and school year
Support for charities at Ramadan, at Eid and at the start of each school year.
Fair access to care
In the film Karim describes what he sees in the regions: medicine in short supply, long waits for appointments, health workers without the means to do their job, and patients who must travel far for a specialist. Wealthy families go to private clinics. Everyone else should get the same quality of care close to home.
