Making a Difference

Our Global Care Initiative expanded to Uganda in 2015 and A-BE-C continues to make a difference for BE individuals in resource poor countries.

It is because of your generous donations A-BE-C has helped facilitate surgeries for children with BE in Uganda and flown Ugandan surgeons to India for medical training. But there is still so much that needs to be done.
