Project Spotlight: Skin Care

Our longest standing project seeks to treat and prevent the extensive damage that high altitude and sun exposure cause- especially to the sensitive skin of the face. For those children interested in participating, we provide sunscreen and education on skin health/safety. Contacts in the community follow up with the participants to track their progress and report their findings to us for future planning.

The estimated cost for this project is $300, which includes the cost of sunscreen. Please help us with this project by donating via Paypal on our website, richmondglobalhealthalliance.org.One-hundred percent of your donation will go to project expenses.
