As a foundation committed to supporting people living with brittle bone disease in low-resource countries like Nigeria, we face a significant challenge: accessing one of the most essential medicines for treatment—bisphosphonates (Zoledronic Acid). These medications are vital for strengthening bones and preventing fractures; however, they are rarely available locally and must be sourced internationally, making them both costly and challenging to obtain.
Bisphosphonate medication is truly life-changing for people living with a rare condition, as it helps increase bone density, reduces the frequency and severity of fractures, eases chronic pain, and could dramatically improve mobility, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals who would otherwise face repeated injuries and lifelong disability.
Currently, many of our patients are due for their scheduled treatment. Without timely access to these medications, their health and safety are at serious risk. We urgently appeal to partners, other oi organisations, donors, and compassionate individuals to help us secure a steady supply of bisphosphonates from international sources.
Your support will have a direct and profound impact on vulnerable patients who rely on this treatment to live stronger, safer, and more fulfilling lives.
Together, we can save a life.
