Our first completed major project on the continent took place at the Meteba Medical Centre in Nagba, Democratic Republic Of Congo. Situated in the more rural area of South Kinshasa and serves and immediate population of around 27,000 people. As one of the few medical centres serving as a maternity unit in the area it was heavily relied on but ill-equipped with out-dated resources to effectively cater for the community.
When we first visited there wasn’t enough medicine, equipment or staff. There was no front door, electricity, sanitation, the roof leaked, and everything was covered in dirt. They only had 8 beds, 5 on one ward and 3 in the maternity unit Babies were being born there and getting infected because of the poor hygiene. With the help of YOU the people we raised XYZ and enabled us to help keep the centre open, improve the medical facilities as well as refurbish & modernise the building.
The rest of the money raised continued to support the Masika centre, ensuring they have food every day, funds to pay bills like school fees for the children.
We also helped support the orphanage in Ngaba, as part of the agreement on this project they now have free medical care at Meteba.
