Promoting Health Change, Not Charity.
|
Clinic: The ASACOMSISOU clinic will open in July and eventually grow to serve 60,000 people per year in Sourakabougou. However, a clinic is more than a building and we need equipment and staff training! |
Action-For-Health: We provide in-home maternal/child health care to 2000 people, including education, vaccination, preventative care and treatment for malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition and respiratory infections. The program is designed to prevent 90% of child death. Instead of user fees, all adults must participate in three health actions per year. |
Senate Subcommittee: To make primary health care work in Mali we need to build the political will to make it happen. To this aim we are creating a senate subcommittee for universal access to primary health care and a yearly conference to educate legislators about this cause. |
|
Transforming Trash (Mana Bayelema) and Health Financing: In 2011 we hope to start a program that pays for healthcare for the most indigent populations through income generation. We hope to recycle plastic trash into paving stones, and sell these stones for profit to pay for clinic fees. |
Radio Sigida Joli: Meaning “Building communities through Radio”, Radio Sigida Joli aims to bring the voices of slum residents to the public arena. Aired twice weekly on Djekafo 100.7 FM this program enables residents to discuss community problems, potential solutions, and how to get involved. |
Girls’ education: The single biggest predictor of child survival is maternal education. We enroll 10-17 year old girls who have dropped out of school in a functional literacy and health program. |
