Last year in a rural village within Monduli we had a community medical outreach where we offered a free health education and screening to many vulnerable people. There was something very intriguing to us; we found that many people in rural villages are sick but they aren’t even aware of their sickness or what to do about it. While conducting the outreach, we were serving one lady who was 21 years of age. This lady was two months pregnant and HIV positive; however, she had no idea she was HIV positive. We educated both her and her husband on what to do to make sure that the child is born free from HIV. We expressed that making sure the woman follows all the important antenatal procedures for pregnant women that are HIV positive will be very important. This story is why we, Paneta, want to go deep into the rural villages to help the marginalized communities. From October 15-20, 2018, we will be going to another rural village at the Mafereji ward, which is located in the Rift Valley part of Monduli. We happen to be just medical students with no income; however, we have the will and the spirit to go and serve our people who are in places that many can’t or won’t reach. Please join us and our project by donating finances to help protect rural people the same way the urban are protected.
Let’s go serve the Mfereji people and help them understand their health status and enable them to prevent unnecessary infections and diseases. If you feel led to donate, please call 0762240634 or 0769450661
