 PROJECT SITUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION REPORT

PROJECT TITLE:

RESTORE HEALTH CENTER TO 5000 VILLAGERS IN NIGERIA

 September 25, 2025

PROJECT BRIEF

For decades, the rural community of Kuladhakni in Shani Local Government Area, Borno State, Nigeria, has lacked adequate access to basic healthcare services. Families have endured preventable illnesses, and mothers have faced the dangers of childbirth without medical support.

In 2017, MOLDEV brought a ray of hope with the establishment of a Community Health Care Centre, designed to serve over 5,000 residents of Kuladhakni and neighboring villages. The facility focuses on maternal and child health while also addressing common but deadly diseases such as malaria, typhoid, hepatitis, hypertension, and worm infestation.

Despite this progress, the need remains urgent and immense. Our findings reveal an alarmingly high rate of maternal and child mortality, largely due to limited access to timely care. In severe cases, residents travel nearly 60 kilometers to the nearest hospital, and tragically, some never make it.

Adding to this hardship, the lack of potable water continues to threaten both the health centre’s operations and the community’s well-being. To ensure safe water for medical use and daily life, we are seeking support to install a solar-powered borehole system — a sustainable solution that will provide clean, reliable water for generations to come.

Your support can save lives, empower families, and transform an entire community. Together, we can make health and hope a reality for the people of Kuladhakni.

PROGRESS RECORDED

We are delighted to share remarkable progress from the Kuladhakni Primary Health Care Project — made possible through the commitment and generosity of our supporters.

In our Quarter 2 Report, the clinic had been successfully roofed — a major milestone in our journey toward providing accessible healthcare for the 5,000+ residents of Kuladhakni and surrounding communities.

This achievement was made possible through the philanthropic leadership of our Founder and Executive Director, whose unwavering personal commitment has driven the project from inception to this stage. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the VMware Foundation for their generous contribution of $100 USD toward the project. Their contribution has boosted our morale, strengthened our budget outlook, and inspired renewed community optimism.

The people of Kuladhakni express heartfelt gratitude for every show of support. The visible progress — from foundation to roofing — stands as a testament to the power of partnership and shared purpose.

Yet, there is still work ahead. Completing the interior of the clinic, equipping the facility, and providing sustainable water access through a solar-powered borehole remain critical next steps. With your continued support, we can bring this life-saving facility fully to life.

Together, we are building more than a clinic — we are building hope.

CHALLENGES

A Call for Support: Restoring Hope to Kuladhakni Community Health Care Centre

Tragedy struck recently when a severe windstorm tore through Kuladhakni Community, devastating the newly roofed community Health Care Centre, a project that has been a beacon of hope for over 5,000 rural residents.

The storm destroyed the roof and some parts of the building including that of the community people, leaving the structure exposed to rain damage and further deterioration. This unfortunate setback threatens to undo months of collective effort and delay the delivery of essential health services such as maternal care, malaria treatment, and emergency response services that the community desperately depends on.

Despite this challenge, our commitment remains unshaken. We are determined to reroof, restore, and equip the health centre to ensure that families in Kuladhakni have access to safe and quality healthcare close to home.

However, limited funding has slowed progress. To complete the next phase which includes re-roofing, equipping the facility, and installing a solar-powered borehole for clean water, we urgently need financial support.

Your contribution today will directly help us:

• Reroof the damaged clinic roof.
• Equip it to serve mothers, children, and families.
• Provide clean water essential for health and hygiene.

With your partnership, we can turn this setback into a story of resilience and renewal. Together, we can ensure that the people of Kuladhakni never lose hope in the promise of accessible healthcare.

RISK AND DISASTER MITIGATION STRATEGIES

In view of the current challenges associated with the project, the following risk mitigation strategies are being implemented in collaboration with the community leadership to forestall future occurrences.

1. CHANGE OF ROOFING STYLE – Giving the direction of the wind to the clinic, it has been professionally recommended that, a flat roof style should be adopted in re-roofing the clinic.
2. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION – We are collaborating with the community security groups to help guard against vandalism and theft.
3. We are also planting 200 windstorm-repellent trees around the clinic structures.  This will not only repel windstorms but boost environmental health

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION STRATEGIES

We have implemented some resource mobilization strategies to raise funds for the completion of the projects. These include;

1. Advocacy visits to philanthropic individuals and like-minded charity organizations
2. Fundraising appeal letters to potential donors

 PROJECT SITUATION REPORT

PROJECT TITLE:

RESTORE HEALTH CENTER TO 5000 VILLAGERS IN NIGERIA

May  28, 2025

 PROJECT BRIEF

The rural Community of Kuladhakni, Shani Local Government of Borno State Nigeria  has been without a basic health facility in its many years of existence until 2017 when MOLDEV came through with a Primary Health Care project to provide basic health services to over 5,000 inhabitants of the community and its surroundings.  The project is expected to address Maternal/Child care as well as some common health challenges such as Malaria, Typhoid, Hepatitis, Hypertension and worm infestation. Based on our findings, Maternal/Child mortality rate is high due to the above mentioned health challenges. In some complicated cases, the people have to travel about 60kms to get to the nearest health facility, sometimes deaths are recorded along the way.

Lack of potable water in the community and its surroundings is a major challenge affecting the wellbeing of the inhabitants. This brought about the idea of installing a solar powered borehole to address the water need of the clinic and the community.

 The project design includes a standard solar powered Borehole with overhead tank to provide potable water for clinic and the community as a whole.

 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DESIGN-2019 to date

The structural designed has been implemented to lintel level. The Borehole has been drilled to water level. We are looking forward to roofing and equipping the facility for immediate use by the community.

 PROGRESS RECORDED

In the quarter 1 report, you will recall that the clinic building was at the lintel level, we are pleased to share with all our supporters that the clinic has been successfully roofed. All thanks to the philanthropic effort of our Founder and Executive who funded the project from the beginning to where it is today. We also acknowledge and thank VMware Foundation for their generous donation of 100 USD towards the project. Even though we are yet to access the fund, it has reshaped our budget figure positively and the entire Kuladhakni Community is grateful for your support. We look forward to working with you continuously. Find attached the roofing pictures of the clinic.

  FUNDING SOURCES

The project from the beginning has been funded by the Founder/Executive Director of MOLDEV. She paid for the, structural design and building of the structure to Lintel level and more still needs to be done to complete the project for immediate use by the community. Thanks to VMWARE foundation for their $100 dollars donation via global Giving in December 2023. We look forward to doing more together.

 CHALLENGES

A recent windstorm severely damaged our newly roofed primary health care center, causing set back on our collective efforts to provide primary health care services for the well-being of 5,000 villagers who rely on it for essential medical services. Currently, the Windstorm has completely damaged the roofed of the building, exposing it to rainfall degradation and further damages. This project aims to rebuild and equip the health care center, ensuring access to quality health care for the community.

Inadequate funds have halted the completion of the project to date. There is need for multiple funding sources to get the needed funds for the completion of the project. The next phase will involve roofing, equipping of the facility and installation of the borehole for immediate use.
