| needs and beneficiaries | |||
| There are currently thousands of people living in the slums of Accra, many without adequate opportunities to receive health care or even a proper education. Out of this group, those particularly at risk are children. Having lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS, and often left to fend for themselves, these slum children often end up in gangs or even worse. By providing quality primary schooling, coupled with the residency layout of a foster care home, these children will be able to learn the skills and forge the relationships necessary to improve their lives and leave the slums. In a community of 35,000 in Northern Ghana there is one hospital. And zero full-time doctors. By training a local surgeon through medical school the communities of Saboba and Cheriponi will be able to receive medical support and medication that could very well save their lives. Currently operating far beyond capacity, with many of their part-time doctors consulting upwards of 100 patients per day, the Saboba Medical Centre in Northern Ghana is in dire need of a full-time doctor to tend to the medical needs of this large community. |
