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.
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.
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION STRATEGIES
We have implemented some resource mobilization strategies to raise funds for the completion of the projects. These include;
FUNDRAISING/CROWDFUNDING OUTCOME
We have received a donation of 100 USD in December 2023 driven by GlobalGiving. Although we have yet to access the fund, it reshaped our project goal positively with great encouragement. The reception of our appeal to prospective donors, philanthropic individuals, and the activities of the GlobalGiving community is encouraging and we are hoping that it will eventually yield in favor of the project.
We have gotten some borehole equipment support for the clinic/community worth N3.5 million ($4,587) from a local philanthropic donor.
The host community has also offered to carry out the installation of the Borehole without charge as their partnership support for the project. They also expressed their readiness to ensure the safety and protection of the entire project facilities for proper use.
RESOURCE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT
The total amount needed to complete the clinic and borehole for use by the community is $104,714 (N70,000, 960 seventy million Nine hundred and sixty thousand Naira).
EXPECTED LONG TERM IMPACT
Over 5,000 people residents in the community will no longer travel long distances to access the basic primary health care services and clean water thereby improving their productivity and wellbeing as an agrarian community. It will also:
1. Improved the health and well-being for 5,000 villagers.
2. Increased access to essential health services.
3. Enhanced emergency preparedness and response in the community.
