2023 Fundraising Goal 

                                   $6000

1. This is the year for infrastructure.  We need to purchase solar batteries and enough solar panels to supply running water from the nearest well to the clinic.  These batteries will also provide enough power to pump water, light up the clinic and keep a medical refrigerator running. 

2. We will begin installing security fencing around the clinic. 

3. We must replenish the clinic with medical and wound supplies and supplies for training for the doctor and area midwives.

​2022 February Update!  Very Productive!

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new medical clinic is located in the remote village of Morowaya, Guinea, West Africa where  Bolokada Conde grew up and where his friends and family still live.

   

Elke Bachmann, RN, MSN, CNM, our maternal/child liaison traveled to Morowaya to establish a relationship with the clinic.  She and Sekouba worked together for many hours with Bolokada doing all the translations.  A needs assessment survey was conducted and relationships with government officials were established.  This was a very productive visit.

   

The ultimate goal is to partner with a university global health unit (possibly Wake Forrest) to develop a women's and infant health medical exchange program.

 

 

Great News!  

​

The Minister of Health has sent word to Bolokada that the Guinea government is interested in partnering with Morowaya to ensure the success of this clinic.  At this time a written agreement is being drafted that may include monetary support for the doctor!
