Project Title: Mobile Healthcare for Vulnerable Children
Location: Underserved Communities across Nigeria
Duration: 3 Months Submitted by Odibu Foundation
Introduction
In rural Nigeria, many vulnerable children lack access to basic healthcare due to distance, poverty, and poor facilities. This project deployed mobile health teams to bridge the gap and deliver free services directly to children aged 0–12 and their families.
Activities
- Conducted outreach in 1 hard-to-reach communities
- Provided free medical consultations, malaria testing/treatment, and deworming for 20 children
- Trained 4 caregivers on child nutrition, hygiene, and early warning signs of illness
- Distributed vitamins, mosquito nets, and health education flyers in local languages
Impact
Early treatment of 5 cases, improved health-seeking behavior, and increased caregiver knowledge. Community leaders requested quarterly visits.
Recommendation: Scale to more LGAs and partner with government and donors for sustainable mobile clinics.
