1st and 2nd clinics in Imala, Ogun State
SO FAR, we have built a clinic at Bright Hope Christian Academy in Kogi State, two clinics on the Bobi Reserve in Niger State, and two clinics on the Imala Reserve, in Ogun State. The clinics are staffed with nurses and stocked with medicine and supplies. Community Health Extension Workers, or CHEWS, are trained to advocate in the communities surrounding the clinics. CHEWS bridge the gaps between local communities and the clinics, and help connect shy tribal people to life-saving services.
Our healthcare clinics save lives in Nigeria!
One of the primary overall objectives of Schools For Africa is to improve healthcare for the Fulani people, and reduce the number of deaths of Fulani children in Nigeria. The most dramatic and urgent issue is to reduce the deaths of children, birthing mothers and babies. Other primary healthcare issues include malaria, diarrhea, and dehydration from malnutrition and lack of clean drinking water.
Schools For Africa has successfully opened, trained, staffed, and continually stocked with necessary medical supplies FIVE clinics SO FAR! These services have improved the overall health of our Fulani communities tenfold, as well as helped educate and empower Fulani communities to pursue healthcare for their families. Clinics complement our schools and grazing reserves by providing comprehensive healthcare for the Fulani to thrive!
Saving lives!
Clinics cost around $15,000 to build and supply. Operating costs are low thereafter, and are funded through monthly giving!
Can you help?!
Please give monthly to sustain what the Lord is doing for His beloved people in Nigeria!
