Resource center for chronic disease management

The work on our Resource continues to move very slowly due in part the result of the COVID -19 pandemic. Our goal establishing a functional laboratory for disease management and proper diagnosis continues to be a thing of great need and great importance for this program. The Resource Center continues to serve as the venue for the maintenance program and food drive. Due to the increase in the level of poverty and starvation, ACHI included a food distribution exercise with the maintenance program last year to help alleviate hunger and starvation among the population we serve and other villagers around the center. We have bee able distribute staple foods like uncooked Rice, Black-eyed peas, and Brown beans. There is a great need for this additional program in the communities. The poor in the villages are suffering more than the rest of the populations, because most of them are dependent on the ones living in the Towns for source food and health maintenance. Since the hardship is nationwide, the ones living in the Towns are barely making ends meet,  and as such don't extra to give the relatives in the villages. We continue to seek support from friends, families and supporters in continuing this work of mercy. We cannot thank everyone enough for your continued support and generosity over the years. We are who we are and doing the work we do before of you. Thanks again      

ACHI has put on hold this year’s annual Medical Outreach at the Resource center due to unrest and increased insecurity in Nigeria that has spread to the Eastern Region. We were advised by the volunteers on ground to considering postponing the program this while we watch the situation closely. This has also affected the decision on starting the construction of the medical laboratory at the site. The laboratory project was put on hold last due to the pandemic. We continue to carry out the monthly maintenance program at the site with caution. We are hoping that the condition will get better for us continue with the project and provided the needed services to the community. We appreciate your continued dedication in assisting us to serve the less privileged and under served in this part of the world. Help is still needed to fully equip the lab for its needed functions.
