Medical Care
Why Medical Care?
Each family’s medical needs must be addressed and supported to create sustainable change. Due to the extreme poverty throughout the city, many families have difficulty meeting their most basic medical needs. Medical care is often viewed as a luxury, not a necessity. To combat this reality, we address and meet immediate medical needs within the communities we serve.
Brightening Smiles
Our dental clinic functions to offer free and low-cost dental care for the families within the communities we serve. In addition to our clinic, we host dental camps in the more remote communities throughout the city.
Our goal is to break down the barriers to accessing quality dental care as well as educate our patients on the importance of good oral hygiene and instilling these practices in their children and the generations to come.
Advancing Well-Being
As we strive to empower the families we work alongside, providing them with the opportunity to improve their mental health and sense of well-being is crucial.
Our psychologist-led, individual and group sessions are intended to invest more deeply in our students and their parents and offer education on various key topics, such as self-esteem, leadership skills, maternal education and more. These classes are designed to better equip parents to support their children, develop local leaders, raise awareness on important matters and ultimately help entire communities thrive.
Taking Action
We strive to meet the emergency medical needs of the students in our programs. In some some cases, this has included helping provide access to dire treatments and operations.
