Our Health initiatives
The lack of healthcare facilities in Igel forces residents to travel 100 kilometers to an understaffed hospital. Poor sanitation and malnutrition cause diseases like malaria and anemia. Our initiatives include:
Our Approach
– Some children at the orphanages are HIV positive. We do everything we can to save their lives. We brought them medication and made sure they got proper treatment.
– A campaign we run helps pregnant women, who are HIV positive, give birth to HIV-free children who are free from HIV. We plan to make this campaign a national one in the near future.
– In order to slow down the spread of HIV, we have provided free HIV tests and free condoms. In addition, we’ve promoted sexual abstinence until marriage.
– MCSF is running a national campaign to raise breast cancer awareness. We teach women what they can do to reduce the chance of getting breast cancer, as well as the importance of early detection you can follow our breast cancer awareness campaign via Facebook.
– The organization has provided free immunization for children in all the areas we have reached so-far. In addition, we teach parents how to improve their children’s nutrition and how to prevent malnutrition.
– Sanitation conditions are in rural areas and city suburbs we are reaching are not good. MCSF has held workshops in order to teach people how to limit diseases by keeping these areas clean.
