Our mobile teams of over 40 personnel, comprised of physicians, nurses, social workers, and community health workers continue to offer services 6-7 days every week from 8-4 pm at eleven displaced camps. We provide essential healthcare services, treatment for a variety of escalating diseases, malnutrition, clean water, hygienic and sanitation goods. In addition, we have set up new health clinics at four camps to provide extensive medical treatment, as well as mental healthcare and psychological therapy for all ages. Women and girls account for over half of the displaced population and we're treating many who have endured gender related sexual violence. It has escalated to 16% and is flagrantly occurring at every camp. To add a sense of normalcy to the lives of our teenage population, we've developed educational/recreational activities for them including forming soccer teams for boys and girls, spelling bees, and drawing competitions.
A donation of $60 provides a food kit that feeds a family for a week. Please help us keep a family healthy and to avoid malnutrition.
