In February we had a team join us as we went into a few different communities. In these communities we were able to see smiles on faces of parents and children who got free health support in the 3 days of outreaches. These are people who do not have enough funds for travelling to the nearest health centers.
With the use of the solar power supply that the Kudvumisa Foundation has, their program named CHIPS (Community Health Innovation Program) is able to save money that would otherwise be used for power supply. The program gets to use such savings to help bring close and free health support to Swazi communities.
During one of the program’s outreaches held at the Lomahasha community, Doctor Hunter, was able to help this young man who probably would not have received help. We later found out that he was looked down upon in the community because he is not well mentally. We were able to be there for him and help him with the problem he was having with his arm. Doctor Hunter had all the equipment she needed for the procedure to take place. This is just one example of how we are able to use the money we save to reach out into the different communities.
