MIRACLE OF HELP COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE

---

Miracle of Help has already refurbished a small clinic in Ngolahun, in addition to providing for two wells to be dug, three latrines renovated, a 2,000-liter water tank installed, and 64 fruit trees planted. Building a guest house is underway, for the use of visiting doctors and nurses, particularly at our next pop-up clinic. Our first one, in November of 2019, was a huge success, treating 500 patients in one week for a wide variety of problems, and it was also our chance to bring medicines and supplies. We donated a centrifuge and microscope, test kits for malaria, HIV, and pregnancy, and blood-drawing and urinalysis equipment, as well as constructed and stocked a community tool shed. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we provided 80 hand-washing stations, buckets with lids, spigots, and catch basins.

We constructed a multi-purpose building in Kenema, about 70 kilometers from Ngolahun. In July of 2019, we sent a container with equipment and supplies for a wood-working shop, restaurant, laundry, and computer lab for the workshop, which also houses a community meeting center. These businesses will create jobs and provide a steady income stream for the MCHP.

In January 2020, we sent a second container with building supplies to finish the center, furniture, school supplies, and a donated blue truck! This has enabled them to be much more efficient in finishing the Kenema center and starting the building in Ngolahun.
