Summary

PURPOSE OF PROJECT: To save lives of children in Nigeria, Africa and this facility will be open to other children in all of Africa. Many children in Nigeria and many other parts of Africa die unnecessarily before reaching the age of adolescence. These children die because of lack of care, especially lack of good healthcare. Diseases such as Malaria, Cholera, Diarrhea, Typhoid, and many other serious diseases which are often endemic in tropical Africa, claim the lives of many of these children.

Medicines are often in very short supply. 4. Qualified healthcare specialists are too few in most of the African countries
