This funding is for a good cause and purpose. When I see one of our daughters/sisters in charge of dispensing the grant it gives me hope that every cent will be spent as intended to keep children healthy and protected. That country is facing health issues due to communicable diseases like malaria, cholera and other deadly pathogens. Good luck.
