Fund for Health costs for members of Tigoung Nonma

It has been a quiet period in terms of fundraising in the UK and on the ground in Burkina Faso. Zoénabou explained that the country was hit by a major heatwave this season which has made things harder. The extreme heat in Burkina and across the region reached highs of over 45 degrees celsius leading to hundreds of deaths.

Compounding these difficult circumstances is the lack of funding for actvities that the co-operative & association are experiencing.

In the UK we are holding a church cake sale on the 27th June which did very well last year - we raised £200. 

That's all from us for now - thank you for your kind support so far and for reading. 

I Introduction

TN received two transfers for the November-December 2023 project,

TN informed beneficiaries to send their documents or products they are taking to certify that they are really sick in order to avoid inconvenience.

Given the number of patients we prioritized the most important ones.

With disability, the list of sick people increases day by day.

II Activities carried out

II.1. Information

Since receiving funds from the Disabled People's Health Project, TN informed the beneficiaries to send their consultation forms and their prescriptions in order to facilitate their care.

II.2. Meeting with the sick

On January 22, 2024, a meeting was held at the Coordinator's home with patients to receive their prescriptions and consultation fees for payment of their medications. The meeting was combined with the Christmas meeting.

II.3. Purchase of medicines for patients and management of consultations, examinations and fuel for beneficiaries.

The treasurer made group purchases of certain medications while others were purchased individually.

Those who have consultations, examinations and transportation (fuel) are covered by the project.

II.4. Delivery of medicines to each beneficiary

Many patients sent their representatives to collect the medicines

Others who were feeling well also made the trip.

III Difficulties encountered

The funds received did not allow for more than fourteen (14) beneficiaries;

Many sick people do not want to go to health centers for their health. They prefer traditional practitioners or healers, even though the latter do not have supporting documents (example, consultation document, prescription, etc.).

IV Results obtained

The funds made it possible to take care of the health of fourteen beneficiaries;

TN contributed to improving the health of fourteen (14) beneficiaries

Their living conditions are improved and they have the joy of living well.

V Perspective

Always mobilize funding to take greater care of the health of other members;

Encourage all sick people to go to health centers to obtain medical documents to be treated;

VI Conclusion

The health and living conditions of fourteen (14) beneficiary members have improved.

We thank all our partners, donors and all those who support us for the well-being of people with disabilities in Burkina.

Members join me in wishing all its partners and donors a happy new year 2024.
