Fund Community Health Screening in Madina, Ghana

The project is still in need for supporters. Due to a lack of funding, project activities are paused.

WE NEED  YOUR SUPPORT TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN GHANA!

Our team has already started to reach out to potential sponsors and present the project needs to various key stakeholders

The Community Health Screening Project holds community health screening days in disadvantaged communities.  During these days, AFAWI in partnership with Ghana Health Services, provides free screening for communicable diseases and counseling and information sessions on health services available to community members, as public health care in Ghana is difficult to access, especially in the rural areas.  

The reasons for the difficulties for the community to access health services are:

1. Lack of knowledge of health care programs in the communities,

2. Lack of basic health care facilities within the communities,

3. Distance to health care facilities (lack of good roads, electricity, facility building and lack of funding); and

4. Lack of income to afford basic first aid materials or medicines.

It remains both a national and social issue , as in many communities citizens continuously die of minor injuries and illnesses, that could easily be healed with something as simple as basic first aid or medicine from the pharmacy.

To conduct further activities, we rely on further funding from our generous donors!

Help us to make a change now and enable free health screening for deprived community members in Ghana!
