Empowerment through Healthcare


We currently have a team from Lambs Fellowship Church here with us in the village. Half of the team has been working on some very special medical projects in conjunction with our clinic staff. Their main project was an outreach to our local primary schools. The team started with an educational preventative-health presentation about sanitation. They then assisted the clinic staff in providing medicine to de-worm (kill intestinal worms) for approximately 1,000 children in our community! They also were able to provide free-treatment for around 200 sick children from our local public school. They also hosted a medical conference for our staff AND assisted in furthering our ultrasound skills. Here are some highlights from their time here:

Clinic staff member Margaret carrying supplies for treating sick children at the school

Team member, Craig, assessing a child


Joyce and Catherine providing wound care


Dr. Larry with Shadrack interpreting to treat a sick child


Craig training our staff in more advanced techniques on our ultrasound machine


Catherine giving a lecture at the medical conference for the clinic staff
