Ongoing Projects
Together with CAMDOC we started several smaller projects:
water wells
To a selected number of families water wells have been spent. We intend to achieve a situation where every family has access to a clean water well in their direct neighbourhood.
individual support
Individual children and their families are supported, in order to create a situation where the family can afford the children to send to school.
health station
The Roeurl Commune has a small health care station where sick or wounded people can go -there is no transport- for some basic health care. Only for the very poor people, these have a kind of health card, it is free of charge. Other people have to pay somthing. The 3 nurses -there is no qualified medical doctor- are underpaid by the government, there is a lack of basic medical materials, furniture and medicins. There is no organized system to get people into a hospital, the costs of hospitalization are releatively high, the health care is poor due to underpaid staff.
Through private initiative the health station was given three beds and some basic local anesthetics. This way at least the patients would not have to lay on the concrete floor while being treated or recovering and wounded patients can be treated under local anaesthesia.
Over 600 students of the primary school have been given tooth brushes and tooth paste and introduction on 'how to...'. At location there is an evaluation on how the project is accepted and how to continue. Of course the idea is that people become aware of the importance of good tooth maintenance and assign it a high priority in their monthly available budget. The 600 students are just those of 2 primary schools. If the project works out well we will extend it to the other schools. In practice this means that quite a few families need permanent support in nature during the first years.
