Life-saving medical funding platform

Helpster is a charity tech platform that connects donors with verified medical cases for children in low-income countries. Every donation is paid directly to the treating hospital and tracked end-to-end.

These three countries combine large pediatric medical need with the partner network and verification infrastructure required for our model — local NGOs, hospitals and volunteers we can vet and stay close to.

Cases are surfaced by our local volunteer / NGO network and reviewed by Helpster medical and operations staff. Hospitals are vetted before they receive any payment and re-checked on every transfer.

We approve only life-saving or life-changing cases for children of low-income families where treatment exists, the hospital is able to deliver it, and the funding gap is the blocker.

Yes — every donation maps to a specific case. You can track payments, hospital invoices, treatment milestones and outcomes from your account.

Yes. Stories are written by our team based on real cases we've funded; we publish names and photographs only with explicit consent from families.

Both options are available at checkout. Subscriptions help us plan ahead; one-time donations help us close urgent funding gaps.

Operating expenses are funded separately from donations. 100% of donor money is allocated to medical cases. Operations are covered by grants, partners, and a small share of unrestricted funds.

We started Helpster because no child should die from a treatable condition due to delayed funding — and because charity-tech can make giving more transparent and trustworthy than it is today.

You can cancel any time from your account page, or by emailing team@helpster.charity. Cancellation takes effect immediately; no further payments are taken.

Children have decades ahead of them and are the most vulnerable in low-income medical systems. A small intervention now compounds across a whole life saved.

Donations from supported jurisdictions qualify for tax deductions. We provide receipts on request — please email team@helpster.charity with your donor details.
