Four Thankful Imams!
Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia (HWHL) is a Christian medical ministry, called to care for all of God’s people living in Kakata, Margibi county, Liberia. In March, Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia (HWHL) and Hands of Hope teamed for their annual March Outreach, hat served over 600 people from the Kakata and Weala areas,including four Imams from one of the local mosques. The team of 33 included doctors, surgeons, nurses, physician’s assistants, physical therapists, lab technicians, and more. With their immense help and resources, we were able to provide free treatment, lab work, and drugs to nearly 500 patients; perform over 60 general surgeries for hernias, hydroceles, and other issues; and perform over 80 eye surgeries, including cataract removal., including four Imams from one of the local mosques.
This heartwarming video (link provided) features four imams four Imams returned to the HWHL Waterfield Clinic in Kakata to thank Dr. Chris Hena, our Medical Director, for medical care they had received during the Outreach. The four Imams were treated for various conditions, including growth on the neck, lip, cataract and hernia. The treatment received by all four Imams eliminated the embarrassment associated with their conditions, enabling them to live normal lives and pursue their jobs.
Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia mission is to continue to serve all the people of Kakata, living in 33 communities regardless of ethnicity (tribe) and religion.
Training of Community Healthcare Workers!
As we continue our mission of serving all the people of Kakata and it's surroundings, we cannot do it without developing our Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs). These CHWs reach out into the 33 communities to assess various health conditions and provide basic health education to those living there. Therefore, ongoing training of these CHWs is critical to make sure we continue to provide quality care to all the people of Kakata.
We have so much to be thankful for at HWHL! We are especially thankful for you and your continued financial support and prayers as we continue to focus on our mission of serving all the people of Kakata, Margibi county, Liberia.
