SayPro, with support from the United States Peace Corps, is working to expand access to affordable health insurance for low-income families who face barriers to essential care. SayPro’s goal is to reduce out-of-pocket medical expenses that can push families into poverty. Peace Corps volunteers collaborate with SayPro to host enrollment drives, explain insurance options, and support digital applications, especially in rural and underserved areas.
SayPro believes that access to insurance is a critical step toward universal health coverage. Peace Corps volunteers help SayPro develop user-friendly guides and informational videos in multiple languages to educate communities about health insurance benefits. SayPro also partners with local clinics to ensure that once insured, families can access quality care without delays. These efforts reduce health inequities and help families stay financially secure during medical emergencies.
SayPro also provides training for local officials, healthcare providers, and social workers on navigating public health insurance systems. Peace Corps volunteers assist SayPro in facilitating these workshops and creating monitoring tools to track insurance coverage levels. SayPro ensures that systems are transparent, accessible, and tailored to the needs of different community groups. This strengthens local health infrastructure and increases trust in public services.
SayPro continuously evaluates the impact of its insurance access programs through household surveys and claims utilization data. Peace Corps volunteers support SayPro in conducting field visits to assess how well families understand and use their coverage. By addressing the structural and informational gaps in health access, SayPro is helping millions of vulnerable people receive the protection they deserve through sustainable health financing solutions.
