RURAL CHARITY AND HEALTH OUTREACH

Our maiden outtreach tagged Charity and Health Outreach, will be taking place at Agele and Mogba Villages, in Eruwa, Ibarapa East LGA of Oyo State.

In addition to the high level of starvation and poverty that is prevalent in Agele and Mogba villages, this outreach was borne out of a survey that was conducted in these villages. The survey revealed a very poor WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene) condition, which predisposes the villagers to water-borne diseases and skin infections. The Focus Group Discussions (FGD) that was conducted also revealed that the villagers practiced open defecation which aids the spread of diseases in the environment. The pair needs ranking revealed that lack of water is the major challenge, making water a felt-need in the communities. Also, the villagers practice burning of household waste, which invariably contributes to global warming.

On a long term, Rural Nurture Initiative (RNI) hope to create sustainable solution to their water challenge as well as provide adequate sanitation facilities in these villages.

However, in the interim, we will be embarking on Charity and Health outreach to better their living condition. The proposed activities include:

• Medical Test (Malaria and HIV test)
• Basic Vital Signs (Blood Pressure and B.M.I.)
• Sensitisation on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
• Post-test Health counseling
• Free medication
• Gift items (Foodstuff, clothes, footwear, toothpastes, toothbrushes, etc)
