What they reported doing

  1. #1 primary $73K
    Women and children have very limited access to health care in Sierra Leone. MOH runs a monthly pop-up clinic for three days with two doctors, two lab techs, a midwife and five nurses for free care for men, women and children. All medication, medical supplies and food are free to patients. Patients attend from thirty-five villages and seven chiefdoms, often walking three-four days to be seen. The catcment population is 35,000. MOH runs a free surgery program - performing two surgeries per month and more as funds allow. MOH runs two malnutritian programs, certified by the SL government for severe and mederate acute malnutrition, which have tested over 36 patients. 2024 saw the creation of a psychiatry clinic for an initial population of 27 patients.
  2. #2 $124K
    MOH has been working with seven villages to help build a Maternity Hospital for women and children. This facility will have operating capacity, and will run on solar power. Nearby staff housing has been built, and two wells have already been dug to provide clean water to the facility and staff. In 2024 MOH funding has provided for the foundation to be poured and construction started. Villagers have made 10,000 cement blocks by hand for the construction. The villagers have donated sand, stone and unskilled labor. MOH hopes to provide enough funding in 2024 and 2025 to complete the hospital. MOH has received the approval of the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health for this project. MOH has also built a lending library for hand tools and a fully electrified power tool workshop which created furniture for the clinic. This project will also build windows, doors and furniture for the hospital.

How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community-Partnered Infrastructure Development
    methodology: community-partnered_infrastructure_development
    By co-building sustainable healthcare infrastructure with local villages, we support long-term operations because local ownership and integrated solutions (like solar power and clean water) increase resilience and community buy-in.
  • Pop-Up Clinic Model
    methodology: pop-up_clinic_model
    By deploying temporary, fully equipped medical clinics to remote areas, we increase access to care for populations who must travel long distances, because bringing services directly to underserved communities reduces barriers of distance and cost.
