My mother and I visited Ghana this July and were left baffled by the lack of medical help in rural areas. We were already participating on a medical outreach for another organization that focused on treating malaria and wounds. We would go to schools on motorcycles and test kids' blood. If they were positive for malaria, we would give them treatment that consisted of pills taken every 12 hours for 3 days. One day, we tested 200 kids between the ages of 3-10, and 72 were positive.
36% of the kids tested were positive, however not all kids that had non-reactive results were actually malaria-free as malaria takes some time to be reactive in a patient's body. Unfortunately, the locals in Frankadua and many other areas do not practice any form of prevention for malaria or even basic care for wounds. Wounds that could easily avoid infection with proper care become infected and can develop flesh-eating bacteria. After seeing what conditions some of our fellow humans live in, two beloved locals named Evans and Elvis alongside my mother and I have partnered up to give more medical attention to such communities. Not only do we need fundraising to afford medication and malaria-testing kits, we also need fundraising to build clinics. Without this much-needed fundraising, many lives that could be saved are condemned to illness and death. As much as we need money to start this organization, and give the people in these communities an equal chance at life, we also need volunteers (medical and non-medical professionals) that are willing to dedicate their time to treating malaria and taking care of wounds/infections. We are more than happy to accept any form of help you are willing and capable of offering whether that be first aid supplies or a 1$ donation. Our team believes that
all people deserve medical attention and that where people live shouldn't determine their chance at survival.
