Enhance Health for All
OFDC believes every human deserves the right to basic health needs such as sanitation and clean water. Healthcare in developing countries is virtually nonexistent. Nearly half the world's child deaths occur in Africa due to malaria, HIV/AIDS, and diarrheal diseases.
Your OFDC donation purchases supplies to build latrines, water wells, and rainwater catchments at rural schools. The local community provides 20% of the cost along with the unskilled labor.
Your donation provides basic health workshops to rural women. Workshops include tea and lunch, and are taught by local instructors who speak the tribal tongue.
