In Mauritius, there is approximately 200 people living with forms of muscular dystrophy and 61 persons/beneficiaries are registered with the Mauritian association, MDA. Most of the beneficiaries are aged below 18 years old and they are psychologically very affected.
Currently, there is no cure for muscular dystrophy. 
Only treatments that can slow its progression like physical therapy, medications, orthopedic supports (wheelchair) or braces, respiratory support and cardiac monitoring.

I am registered as an active volunteer for this association since 2021. We organize regular events (EOY/XMAS gathering, Parents day, Fun day) to make the beneficiaries feel that they are part of the family and we care for them. All the beneficiaries are provided with the type of wheelchair adapted to ease their discomfort. The required treatments are very costly and the parents of the beneficiaries need our support, in terms of financial support and awareness of the disease.  It is important that we understand how hard it is for both the beneficiary and the parents to be in this situation on a daily basis. It is a life changing disease for the patient and everyone around him/her. Please donate for a good cause.
