New Health Post Construction (Mozambique)

2010-08-17T02:00:00.001-07:00

THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED, THANK YOU...BUT YOU CAN FOLLOW THE PROGRESS BELOW...

Project description:

A health clinic is critical to serve the more than 200 children in the Mucombeze Interior Primary School which is situated in an isolated, rural community in Mozambique. This clinic will also serve the surrounding communities who do not have ready access to health care. Many children suffer needlessly from minor infections and illnesses that could be easily prevented, or treated, if a clinic were located closer to the school.

Plan:

To construct a brick and cement structure (with 3 rooms and a waiting area) adjacent to the school.

Financial Resources Needed: $15,000

Donated: $15,000 Thank you!
