Our board recently huddled up and made a list of accomplishments so far. We are in awe. (We actually blew ourselves away.) We listed 14 significant accomplishments since the van rolled into the village for the first time in the middle of January. Here are the accomplishments:
- Hire a professional medical staff and support team to operate our own mobile medical clinic.
- Establish wellness clubs in each village with over 500 fully-engaged members.
- Create happiness and wellness clubs for children in each of our villages.
- Conduct an 8-day medical camp led by two physicians and 10 medical students from the U.S. and U.K. along with our local medical care team.
- Witness the dramatic improvement of scores of people who are beginning to live more healthfully.
- Arrange for life-saving surgeries for several villagers.
- Provide two rainwater collection systems in one of our villages and raise most of the funds to provide water in the next village.
- Provide multiple water purification units for each village.
- Distribute hundreds of hygiene kits to young women and dozens of birthing kits to pregnant moms.
- Add a full-time midwife to our care team, enabling us to serve over 100 mothers-to-be on a weekly basis in the villages.
- Distribute 100 solar-powered audio Bibles in the Runyoro-Rutoro dialect (in partnership with InTouch Ministries).
- Provide shoes for 350 children and adults (in partnership with Sole Hope).
- Implement a comprehensive, cloud-based data-collection system to track each patient’s treatments and health.
- Begin a distribution program of daily vitamins for 1,700 children for one year and multi-vitamin supplements for 375 pregnant moms for one year (in partnership with Vitamin Angels).
