Project Abroad (UK): our new partner


Before the Founder and Manager of the Naa Kordey Memorial Child Development Project could complete partnership talks with Africa Change International (ACI) to place the facility on its project list, ACI has provided a fruitful network service by linking the facility with Project Abroad (UK), an international NGO. In essence, Project Abroad is likely to be a partner.
Led by Nooshin, a health team of four visited the Child Development Project to provide some health care services to the beneficiaries. They took care of about 20 children who were suffering from sores, rashes, etc. and, gave the facility some worm pills to be given the children after three months since they have just benefited from the government's deworming exercise before the visit.
The health officers from Project Abroad interacted with the children, their care takers and teachers and promise to offer regular health service to the facility. Meanwhile, the manager of the facility is working towards completing a memorandum of understanding for partnership with Project Abroad (UK).
