Foreword

This booklet is for

  • doctors and administrators in church-related hospitals around the world;
  • national church leaders; interested pastors and women's leaders;
  • national Christian coordinating agencies; and
  • anyone in church-related health work -- whether hospitals, dispensaries, or community health.
  • The writer is a Christian anthropologist who has worked in health programs with governments, churches, and other organizations in a number of different countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

    The booklet's aim is to help you find ways to finance the health programs you want to offer in your own community.

    The booklet mentions a number of ways to finance health work, but it concentrates on international organizations and discuss the pros and cons of asking them for help. At the end, you will find a list of the major organizations and how to contact them.
