Dear Supporters, Family and Friends of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,
We are happy to report to you that the additional hand pump has been completed and handed over to the community, worthy of note is that the geophysical survey conducted for the citation of the hand pump showed that the location best suited for it was not too far from Hansau's home (Not real name); if you can recall from our last report that she is our advocate amongst her peers on the importance of keeping clean and washing her hands with soap; thus she was so elated that there is a hand pump not to far from her home and has this to say; Quote..."Ina godewa Allah SWT don rahamar sa na samu soboda tsafta na" End Quote (translated...I thank God that he has rewarded me with goodness for keeping clean").
Construction of the on going project of community sand dam is progressing gradually not as fast as we would like but largely due to funds not readily available but we are relating with the local council to get a political commitment to assist the community complete the project.
Cases of water related diseases have drastically reduced from our last report to you in the last month from 5 out of 20 out patient cases from the primary healthcare centre to JUST 1 CASE and the recently built primary school in Gadan has seen an increase in enrollement of children with girl child enrollement to be at 50% compared to just 10% as at six months ago. The access of water in the community gave confidence to the state government to build a school for Gadan Community which has brought in developement for the people; this has all been posisble through your support and kind donations.
We would however appreciate your continued support to our project providing solutions to the problems of Gadan community.You can follow us on twitter @serendipityHea1 or facebook/serenhealthcare or LinkedIn/samirahfaruk or via email on serenhealthcare@gmail.com for further enquires.
Thank you.
