Future Directions

We hope that our work will continue to lead to the development of greater awareness in the communities we work with, specifically with regard to the assessment of their needs. We believe that our best tools to meet those needs are knowledge and love. Despite the fact that urban clinics help solve most basic health problems, they do so at the curative level. Our goal is to solve more of these problems at the preventive level.

In order to extend the community health kit programs to other communities, we need more financing. The applications from the communities are voluminous and we have the necessary human capability; we lack only the financing.

Recently, we have placed a greater emphasis on public health / mini-economic projects because many communities have been asking for them. And since we follow a policy of local development, we first require the communities to do their own community diagnoses, from which they are able to identify their needs. Whether it be inadequate nutrition, a lack of potable water, or unemployment, the communities we work with are able to satisfy needs through the completion of an alternative development project.
