2024 Health Initiative
Supporting the health of children across Africa is extremely important to CALF. This year our initiatives have included Healthcare for young girls in Kenya. Providing wheelchairs for ladies Ghana, giving them access to participate in the community and education. In the Jamestown district of Accra where we have our learning centre. We were informed that parents of many children in the area could not afford health insurance cards. This meant that if they had a health issue their parents would have to pay for a doctor’s consultation and also any medicines that were prescribed. Our health insurance initiative provided much needed Health Insurance for over 500 children.
As part of our second anniversary initiative, we raised funds to provide over 500 children with Health Insurance cards. Enabling them to have free doctor consultations and free basic medicines. Therefore taking some of the financial and emotional pressure off of their parents.
Young school girls are often left with no access to sanitary pads in villages and schools. CALF has an ongoing program to make this provision to villages in Kenya.
Education is one of the key foundation pillars of our NGO. Children of all ages attend our Ga Mashie 360 Learning centre from Monday to Friday. The local schools also use our recourses for their classes daily.
Children are encouraged to apply themselves and assistant teachers are at hand to support and guid them in their quest to learn.
Zion church reached out to us seeking help for wheelchairs for these remarkable individuals. With donations from Diane Cummings we purchased these wheelchairs for these women who can now be mobile unlocking new possibilities.
This young girl was brought to our attention as she was very bright but could not mobile and could not go to the local school. We were able to purchase the wheelchair and she now attends school daily.
The CALF initiative for 2024 was selected to provide health insurance for local children who’s parents could not afford it. In many cases, these children were without access to even basic medical healthcare.
Over 500 children were able to receive health insurance certificates on the day, taking a financial pressure off of their parents for their health needs.
Four local schools in the area of Jamestown were able to bring their pupils. We also screened children from the local area who were not in school and adults that were unable to afford health insurance.
We were pleased to support Sabs Dayspring community school with books to start their school library.
