WCC: HEALTHCARE
Healthcare especially for women and children are a great challenge for these communities.There is a tremendous need for accessible health care in the Maboikandoh community (Sierra Leone) Specifically there is a need for centres targeted to the delivery of health education and clinical care in order to improve the lives of the communities and combat issues surrounding child birth and early infant-care. The quantity of health services and conditions of the locations is severely insufficient. Once these facilities are established, they will be able to operate without high levels of involvement from international organizations. In this way we are able to not only promote better health care services and education, but also to empower the local communities and teach them to promote the work that we began.
WCC: SANITATION PROJECT
WCC water project’s mission is to provide clean drinking water to drought-stricken communities in the Eastern (Freetown) Sierra leone. It is understood from interviewing 2000 families in Sierra Leone that many people don’t have access to clean drinking water and that 98% of the population doesn't have access to public toilets. Most of the children and young people defecate in open areas. Residents and children of the locality therefore live in poor living standards and are vulnerable to contagious diseases such as cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, etc. The project helps Sierra Leone to become a vibrant and self-sufficient community that is less reliant on external aid in the long term. It also helps the citizens to overcome the post war trauma. The basic health and sanitation training that we offer aids in reducing child mortality rate from easily preventable infections.
