The “Children’s Health Bus” program in Latvia is made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors, partners, and fellow citizens. Without the support of the public and businesses, we would not be able to provide such vital services that directly impact children’s health, timely diagnosis, and well-being.
The Ronald McDonald House in Latvia works every day to ensure that children throughout Latvia have access to high-quality health screenings and consultations with specialists closer to where they live. The “Children’s Health Bus” travels to various regions of Latvia, providing children with the opportunity to receive necessary health checkups free of charge, even in areas where access to specialists is limited. For many families in these regions, this means the opportunity to consult a doctor without having to make a long and complicated trip to major cities. It also helps parents identify and address their children’s health issues early on, before they become more serious.
Our work is made possible by people and companies who believe that children’s health is one of society’s most important values. By joining the community of supporters of Ronald McDonald House Latvia, you become a partner of an international charity with many years of experience in supporting children’s health. Your support helps ensure and expand the operations of the “Children’s Health Bus,” increasing access to healthcare for families with children throughout Latvia.
Approximately 350,000 euros are needed each year to ensure the operation of the “Children’s Health Bus” program. These funds make it possible to organize trips to Latvia’s regions, pay for specialists’ services and medical equipment, and conduct health checkups for thousands of children. Every donation helps cover specific program needs—fuel and logistics for trips, medical equipment, specialists’ work, as well as administrative support, which enables the program to operate effectively in the long term.
Together, we can ensure that more children in Latvia receive timely health care and grow up healthy.
Why donate to Ronald McDonald House in Latvia?
Because every child needs to receive help in a timely manner.
Parents shouldn’t have to choose between a long trip to the doctor and the hope that “maybe it will go away.”
With the “Children’s Health Bus,” we bring specialists closer to families with children. This means fewer barriers to getting help and greater opportunities for children to receive timely diagnosis and treatment.
Your donation can mean the early detection of a health problem, a more peaceful night’s sleep for parents, and a safer future for a child. Often, a single consultation or examination can be crucial for identifying health risks early and starting the necessary treatment.
Let’s work together to ensure that a child’s place of residence does not determine their chances of being healthy.
By donating, you:
• help ensure the early detection of health problems
• provide parents with a sense of security
• to promote equal opportunities for children throughout Latvia
• invest in a long-term solution rather than short-term assistance
• help ensure the availability of specialists in Latvia’s regions
• support access to children’s health care closer to home
Your support translates into tangible results—free consultations with specialists, diagnostic services, and regular visits to the regions. This means more children receiving timely help and more families who can feel more confident about their children’s health.
A donation to the Ronald McDonald House in Latvia is more than just financial support. It is an investment in children’s health, families’ well-being, and more sustainable access to health care in Latvia.
Together, we can ensure that help for children is available closer to home—no matter where in Latvia they live.
Regardless of the method you choose, every donation helps ensure that children in Latvia have access to health checkups closer to where they live.

Sometimes a single medical consultation can change the life of an entire family. During a “Children’s Health Bus” outreach visit, our specialists consulted with a child whose parents were very worried. They explained that the child was struggling at school—he wasn’t doing well academically, often acted out, became moody, and lost his patience quickly. The parents and teachers suspected that the problems might be psychological or emotional. They even considered the possibility that the child might need to attend a special education school.
However, during the consultation, the specialist carefully assessed the situation, listened to both the parents and the child, and conducted the necessary examinations. It soon became clear that the real cause was not behavioral problems—the child simply had poor vision. He had trouble seeing what was written on the board or in a book, and this caused frustration, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
The doctor recommended that the child wear glasses. It seemed like a minor solution, but it turned out to be crucial.
When the child returned for a follow-up consultation a year later, the situation was completely different. He was doing well in school, could concentrate better, and his behavioral problems had disappeared. What initially seemed like a complex psychological problem turned out to be simply a vision problem that had not been detected in time.
Cases like these remind us just how important timely health checkups can be. Sometimes, a single consultation is all it takes to open up a whole new world of opportunities for a child to learn, grow, and feel good.
That is exactly why the “Children’s Health Bus” travels to children throughout Latvia—so that help is available in a timely manner and closer to home. Your support helps ensure that even more children receive the necessary checkups and specialist care. Together, we can help children grow up healthy and confident about their future.
