GOAL. 1 | HEALTH CARE
ABOUT
The scarceness of health facilities causes a lot of deaths of delivering mothers and their infants on the island. The flocking of those who need health services in the few existing places is too high, hence creating a hell of work to the few health workers, with sick people lining for five to six-hours in direct and strong sunlight resulting in sufferings and later deaths of those that could be helped and their lives saved.
We need support help in order to sustain and maintain our health facilities closer to the disadvantaged and the miss-fortunate ones in the community this will reduce congestion in the few existing health facilities
Help with applying for grants, online fund-raises we equally need health professionals:-
1. Doctors and Nurses
2. Student Doctors and nurses
3. Physiotherapist,
4. Physicians,
5. Medical equipment
6. Guiders and councilors
All will help with medical camping, health education, medical outreaches and on-site health services
Sena Health Centre
Wakinga community ! ! ?
Between the health centre in Sena and the dispensary in Ugina lays a distance of 30 km, connected by gravel roads in miserable status. Within this area lives a population of 10’000 residents, the Wakinga community. This community does not have any health facility close by and suffer as they walk all the distance to attend to either Sena or Ugina facilities, which are ever terribly congested.
A sick person has to be carried by the hands of volunteers or relatives, who have to walk on foot since there are no vehicles for transportation on the island, only motorbikes. Many delivering mothers and infants have died in the process of reaching health facilities to deliver.
Please help us realize the completion of our a health facility to save their lives.
Our development division focuses on improving the delivery of high-impact health products and services to the community’s poorest households and helps the community to expand access to health coverage. Women usually give birth on the mud floors of their homes, too many miles away from the nearest health clinic, at great risk of complications or illness.
It is for this purpose that our organization campaigns for creation and improvement of a small health centre to help mothers, children and the general community to save their lives.
We have a functional health centre and it's on going construction, hence we need as many volunteers as possible to join us
We are only lacking financial and material support to accomplish our full dream.
As incentive to donors for donating to the development of the Wakinga Health Centre:
-
donations $25+ USD/ 2500+ Kshs will be appreciate
-
donations $50+ USD/ 5000+ Kshs will have their name etched into the preliminary wall of the health centre
-
donations $70+ USD / 10000+ Kshs will have their name etched into the preliminary wall of the health Centre and given certificate of contribution
-
donations above $200+ USD / 20000+ Ksh will receive the above and a free one week stay on Mfangano Island.
Building a small heath facility that can serve a community would cost 55’278 USD.
Please help with applying for health care grants & microfinance education to help improve communities economic status for self-reliance.
Our fundamental health division aims to reduce inequities in health by developing new tools and strategies to reduce the burden of infectious disease and the leading causes of adult and child mortality in the island’s communities. The community is seriously in need of clean water for drinking to help prevent catching infectious waterborne diseases.
We aim at supporting the disadvantaged, the less privileged/less fortunate and those who have been abandoned by society, the aged (the elderly persons), widows and widowers by donating: clean water for drinking, food, houses, and cloths. We also donate sanitary towels to school girls aged 14 and above. Feeding programs to school children aged twelve and bellow are also underway. With your help/donation, thousands of more lives will be touched.
Water purifying machines to serve the community and schools on the island would not cost much depending on where they are purchased, a sanitary towel is 1.5 USD while putting up a small heath facility would cost 55’278 USD and the community will staff the facility.
Help with applying for grants, fundraising & improvised techniques from health care professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.) to save lives on Mfangano and sister Islands.
