Spot l ight : Clinic Project Accessible Healthcare: I n 2011, we opened the Kolomiseed Heal th Cl inic. Now over 17,000 vi l lagers have access to af fordable or f ree t reatment of di sease and injury, management of chronic condi t ions, pregnancy and post -natal care, wel l baby moni tor ing, and prevent ive care, i ncluding vaccinat ions.

Job Creation: The cl i nic employs a resident doctor, a nurse, a midwi fe, an ambulance dr iver, a lab technician, a lab assi stant , a pharmacy assi stant , a clerk, a cleaner, and a secur i ty guard. The staf f member above can be seen di st r ibut ing medicat ion to a pat ient .

Saving Lives: The cl i nic has been saving l i fes since i ts i ncept ion. A chi ld suf fer ing f rom a severe asthma at tack was given l i fe-saving t reatment on the cl i nic's opening day. Wi thout the cl i nic, i t would have taken too long to t ransport him to a di stant faci l i t y.

Spot l ight : Fight Against MalariaEnding Malaria: In 2014, we launched our Ant i -malar ia Campaign to help improve publ ic heal th for vi l l ages along the Ni le r iver i n Sudan. Malar ia has always been endemic to the region, but i n recent years we have wi tnessed a dramat ic spike in i t s prevalence. Leaders and members of the Al Zawrat communi ty ident i f ied thi s as a part i cular ly pressing i ssue for thei r vi l l age. We ut i l i ze a comprehensive approach to el iminate malar ia that focuses on prevent ion, awareness, and t reatment .

I mpact: Malar ia dimini shes the qual i t y of l i fe of suf ferers and the ent i re communi ty. During bouts of malar ia, farmers and employees cannot work, people cannot take care of business, parents cannot ful ly engage in car ing for thei r fami l ies, and chi ldren cannot study. Many vi l lagers vi si t the heal th cl i nic for malar ia test ing and t reatment . Our goal i s to stop the t ransmission of malar ia, especial ly among infants and schoolchi ldren.
