Julia Bucher, founder of the Soleil d'Afrique Foundation, initiated support for the hospital in Gondar, Ethiopia's fourth-largest city, in 1995. Thanks to personal contacts with doctors in Gondar, it was guaranteed that 100% of the medications and medical supplies would benefit the patients in need. The foundation regularly sent blood glucose strips, glucose sticks, and insulin to care for chronically ill patients or transferred funds to purchase insulin. The medical supply of these supplies and the financing on site have now been secured, thus completing the project.
