Medical Program
Many of our students and community members have very little access to medical care. In the 2017-2018 school year we lost two students to preventable illnesses. Since then, numerous other cases of critically ill community members and students came to our attention. As a result, we decided to launch a medical program, where we have a full time nurse on staff, weekly doctor visits, and access to vitamins for our students.
Currently, our nurse is at our school in Rodaille daily. All of our students received a physical exam, as well as continuous access to the nurse as their medical needs arise. The nurse communicates the needs to a local doctor, who visits the school twice a week. When he comes to the school he is able to see the students with medical needs and provide medicine if needed.
Furthermore, we are able to give the students daily vitamins and a nutritious meal through our medical program and food program. We feel that starting at the basics will help the students overall mental and physical health. We hope in the future to add a local dentist and eye doctor to our program.
As of right now we are limited to focusing on our students and their families, but would like to extend our medical care to help the community as a whole. If you would like to donate to our program and help us meet the needs of more people please click donate now.
