The Medical Clinics
We provide basic medical screening (mostly hypertension and diabetes), promote health education and disease prevention. We are fortunate to be able to administer available medications provided by the dispensary.
The Medical Camp attracts people that often don’t visit the clinic. This gives the staff the opportunity to provide their services to a greater number of people than usual. These include updating medical records and vaccinations, family planning, cervical cancer screenings and HIV counseling and testing.
The Outreach Healthcare Volunteers
We are very pleased to have made this connection during our 2014 trip. These individuals provide a wide variety of services to the community. Most importantly they go out into the community, farm to farm, door to door to educate people about HIV, how to avoid, why be tested, and how to seek treatment.
The Schools
When we first visited the schools, we asked the headmistress/headmaster what things we could do that would benefit the children. The first was the deworming issue; the second was a heartfelt request for basic school materials for the students: pencils, rulers, writing tablets, and storybooks. In 2014 we provided some of the much-needed materials. We duplicated this effort in subsequent years and eventually provided the schools with simple libraries. Please see our photos.
