Bright Funds Foundation is funding the purchase of oxygen concentrators and cylinders. These concentrators will be mobilized to local hospitals through a unique partnership between Direct Relief and United Way Bengaluru in India. Oxygen concentrators are among the most vital items needed to treat people with severe Covid-19, who often arrive at hospitals with extreme hypoxemia. High-flow oxygen concentrators are used in hospitals to treat patients needing intensive care, while low-flow concentrators can help hospitals safely discharge patients who are stable but require at-home breathing support. Direct Relief is providing thousands of oxygen concentrators in response, transported by FedEx, free-of-charge, via two donated 777 charter flights. United Way of Bengaluru in India is also purchasing concentrators and cylinders on behalf of grassroots organizations. They are employing grassroots teams to deliver concentrators and cylinders. With your support, we can alleviate the oxygen shortages faced by district hospitals and save countless lives who are dependent on a regular supply of oxygen to survive. Direct Relief is waiving fees to United Way Bengaluru. Bright Funds' service fee will be added back as a donation to the Fund. Image by Gerd Altmann.

A small non-profit but 100% run by unpaid volunteers including myself for many years, where every single penny goes to schooling or athletic programmes in remote villages in several African countries. Mostly in north east Kenya but also a few other locations like Houtbaai in South Africa. In a volatile world, it is important not to forget about these small but locally impactful projects. We work together with real local heroes such as Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon, herself a former beneficiary, and Haile Gebrselassie.
