Healthcare
Providing communities with primary healthcare services can avert countless deaths. Rural populations, those living outside of the cities, have the greatest difficulty obtaining medical care, often expiring before they can walk the many miles toward the cities to get it.
Child Legacy International saves lives by establishing healthcare facilities in rural areas, treating Africa’s most disadvantaged men, women, and children.
Right on Time
Especially in the case of anti-retrovirals (ARVs) – a widely used HIV/AIDS treatment - medicines must be administered within a specific window of time to be effective.
Many people suffering from the disease spend all day walking or riding their bikes to ARV distributions clinics, leaving them exhausted and incapable of accomplishing anything else during the day.
Rural healthcare facilities decrease travel time for HIV/AIDS sufferers while opening up options for other necessary daily activities, such as self and or familial provision.
Simple Solutions
HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis are not the only dangers facing inhabitants of non-urban areas – a simple case of diarrhea or dehydration can be deadly to people without access to medical attention.
CLI works to eliminate needless deaths by establishing rural healthcare clinics that offer the following FREE services:
- Blood Testing
- Basic Medical Treatment
- Diagnosis
- Immunization and Medicine Distribution
- HIV/AIDS Informational Workshops
- Labor and Delivery
- Medical Counseling
- Minor Surgery
- Pre-natal Care
Powerful Results
Reestablishing health and wellness in the community opens up a world of opportunities for rural Africans.
As quality of life increases, the local economy improves as well, because breadwinners can spend more time finding ways to earn income and support themselves.
Enabling parents to care for their families is important, not just on a day-today basis, but for generations to come. As children see their parents becoming healthy and thriving, they learn to do the same. Establishing a legacy of wellness ensures a bright future for rural Africa.
