Looking for Strategic Alliance(s) in Mozambique and Kenya:
The solution to rising sickness rates and low access to essential medical care will be found in a collaborative effort when essential medicines, adequate health education and appropriate technologies and clinics are made available in these troubled regions. If you are part of, or know of, a medical clinic and/or care ministry that is interested in collaborating their efforts and resources for a broader transformation impact, please let us know.
The PROBLEM:
In developed countries where people enjoy better health care, education, and nutrition, women tend to have healthy babies. In Africa, however, few people have access to medicine and malnutrition is a constant problem. Lack of clean water and other basic necessities, disease, and human conflicts make survival difficult for most on this continent.
Besides lack of accessible health care and nutrition, HIV/AIDS is a major health issue in Africa. Due to insufficient educational programs and financial resources, the number of HIV/AIDS cases has risen to tragic heights in Africa. Africa now accounts for 83 percent of AIDS deaths worldwide. In some countries, such as Zambia and Botswana, 20% or more of the adult population is believed to be infected with HIV.
Tragically, the children of Africa suffer the most from this epidemic. Millions of children have been left orphaned because of the disease.
